Paradais
Fernanda Melchor, Sophie Hughes (translation)Written in a chilling torrent of prose by one of Mexico’s most thrilling new writers, Paradais explores the explosive fragility of Mexican society.
Translated by Sophie Hughes.
Inside a luxury housing complex, two misfit teenagers sneak around & get drunk. Franco Andrade, lonely, overweight, & addicted to porn, obsessively fantasizes about seducing his neighbour - an attractive married woman & mother. Meanwhile, Polo, the community’s gardener, dreams about quitting his gruelling job & fleeing his overbearing mother & their narco-controlled village. As each faces the impossibility of getting what they think they deserve, together Franco & Polo hatch a mindless & macabre scheme.
Melchor is a thrilling writer, her electric prose charged with the power to transform the reader. Paradais explores the explosive nature of Mexico's brittle society, fractured by issues of race, class & violence — & confronts us with teenagers whose desires & hardships can tear life apart.
‘In Paradais Fernanda Melchor draws us into the brutish, profane world of two unlikely, hapless teenagers, Polo & Franco, in the gated community where they plot a crime that can only go horribly wrong. Sophie Hughes’ endlessly inventive translation breathtakingly captures the book’s caustic humour & exhilarating pace.’ - 2022 International Booker Prize Judges
