McSweeney's Issue 46: Latin American Crime Fiction
Ebook
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Overview
In thirteen electrifying stories, our very first all-Latin-American issue takes on the crime story as a starting point, and expands to explore contemporary life from every angle—swinging from secret Venezuelan prisons to Uruguayan resorts to blood-drenched bedrooms in Mexico and Peru, and even, briefly, to Epcot Center and the Havana home of a Cuban transsexual named Amy Winehouse. Featuring contemporary writers from ten different countries—including Alejandro Zambra, Juan Pablo Villalobos, Andres Ressia Colino, Mariana Enriquez, and many more—McSweeney’s 46 offers an essential cross-section of the troubles and temptations confronting the region today. It’s crucial reading for anyone interested in the shifting topography of Latin American literature and Latin American life, and a collection of writing to rival anything we’ve assembled in years.

Dave Eggers lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
McSweeney's began in 1998 as a literary journal that
published only works rejected by other magazines. That rule was
soon abandoned, and since then McSweeney's has attracted work from
some of the finest writers in the country, including Denis Johnson,
Jonathan Franzen, William T. Vollmann, Rick Moody, Joyce Carol
Oates, Heidi Julavits, Jonathan Lethem, Michael Chabon, Ben Marcus,
Susan Straight, Roddy Doyle, T. C. Boyle, Steven Millhauser, Gabe
Hudson, Robert Coover, Ann Beattie, and many others. At the same
time, the journal continues to be a major home for new and
unpublished writers; we're committed to publishing exciting fiction
regardless of pedigree.
