From Bolivian writer Liliana Colanzi comes a collection of short fiction: luminous and powerful.
DO YOU GLOW IN THE DARK?
In Liliana Colanzi’s singular collection of short stories, set in a Latin America at once real and otherworldly, human vice contaminates every page. Amid eerie near-future landscapes, in communities both ordinary and uncanny, and during the very real fallout of a nuclear disaster, Colanzi’s characters must contend with a poisoned legacy.
Unpredictable and vivid, You Glow in the Dark radiates in the reader’s mind long after the final page and announces a daring new voice in fiction.
