McSweeney's Issue 46: Thirteen Crime Stories From Latin America

"This is the first-ever all-Latin American issue of McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern, featuring 13 stories by some of today’s most exciting voices. In the hands of Alejandro Zambra, Juan Pablo Villalobos and others, we have crime fiction at its strangest and most artfully complex. There’s an urgency that permeates each offering, and while there are death and bloodshed throughout the pages — as is characteristic of the genre — there are also wisdom and beauty, and an understanding of what it takes to make the ugliest things, somehow, palatable and a joy to read."
