The story of "Hurricane Season" unfolds in an environment full of superstitions and violence. The novel is full of violence that reaches the depths of existence and poisons everything around. This is a world that becomes more terrifying and dangerous the more you explore it. Brutal poetry and sharp directness make this book a chilling portrait of Mexico and its demons.
"Season of Storms" was shortlisted for the 2020 Booker International Prize, and in 2019 it won the German International Literary Award.
"This is what the women of that village say: that there is no treasure, no gold, no silver, and no diamonds, only helpless, unspeakable pain."
Writer and journalist Fernanda Melchor was born in 1986 in the Mexican city of Veracruz, in an environment full of crime and violence. This fact led the writer to research human violence, which he approaches both from the perspective of the victim and the perpetrator. Along with individual cases of violence, Melchor also studies the environment that causes crime, more specifically, the socio-economic situation that leaves a heavy mark on the mental health of his characters. In Melchor's texts, together with the direct criminals, the state systems that do not or cannot fulfill their primary responsibility and create a fertile ground for violence with indifference appear as villains.
