“Yushimito is a rising star in contemporary Spanish fiction.”
Carles Geli, El País

that Carlos Yushimito was going to become a leading author in the talented
new generation of Peruvian writers under forty. Now, he has the added
bonus of being a surprise pick by Granta as one of the best
Spanish-language authors under 35.”

a fascinating and unique set of stories set in an imagined, timeless
Brazil constructed from hearsay and literature.”

Genuine, necessary writing.”
