‘“The Art of Political Murder: Who Killed the Bishop?” by Francisco Goldman. I’ve recommended that book here before, and I still think it is one of the best portrayals of how the past can reach its tentacles into the present.’ Amanda Taub https://t.co/13MHIHCbdu

"At least whatever was wrong was recent, Ray kept telling himself, he realized." Love this first sentence to Norman Rush's Mortals. Monkey bars made of words, found myself playing on them a while before going on to second sentence.

Catalina is wildly, movingly, mercurially alive – one moment terrifyingly unhinged and lonely, and in the next, knockdown glorious. The amazingly gifted Karla Cornejo Villavicencio is even more fearless, letting her brainy, irreverent protagonist skewer one sacrosanct cultural complacency or dogma after another.

This is a great intro to this remarkable book, Border Hacker, one of the best I read last year!!! https://t.co/jWnfTVTfOU
