Reviews
" Fury has the poetic and savage force of the desert. Its pages are full of tenderness, fear, and a persuasive, rhythmic prose with unforgettable images. It deals with the violence of desire that turns us into drooling, howling dogs that bite, but also with love amidst hostility and neglect. That makes it an unsettling and, at the same time, profoundly moving novel." --Mónica Ojeda, author of Jawbone "By tracing the genealogical tree that intertwines the fates of Juan and Lázaro, eternal soldiers in a phantasmagoric limbo of the Mexican Revolution, and a handful of women, whose bodies and loves mutate though they remain as powerful as vengeance, Clyo Mendoza introduces us to dozens of stories of sex, hatred, abandonment, and magic, narrated and deformed by the potent oral traditions that influence the language she conjures to render the ghosts real; it is the hallucinatory and brutal language of the desert." --Dolores Reyes, author of Eartheater "An astonishing, hypnotic, and beautiful novel, like contemplating the desert." --Juan Pablo Villalobos, author of Invasion of the Spirit People "There is something timeless about Clyo Mendoza's Fury . It has the music of Scheherazade's stories, and it tells of an ageless desert and an ageless violence that gives birth to itself with every new generation. It touched upon an open wound in Mexico, and I'm sure that readers everywhere will be enthralled by its power." --Jazmina Barrera, author of Linea Nigra and On Lighthouses "I kept thinking of Kathy Acker as I read Clyo Mendoza's brilliant fever dream of a novel, Fury , but also of Juan Rulfo and Alejandro Jodorowsky. It's weird, gorgeous, shocking and gentle, more or less all at once, and Christina Macsweeney's translation brings it burning across into English with tremendous aplomb." --Laird Hunt, author of Lorrie, "There is something timeless about Clyo Mendoza's Fury .

Synopsis
In this debut novel, Clyo Mendoza, a young, award-winning Mexican poet and novelist, weaves together multiple narratives into a lyrical, shape-shifting existential reflection on love, violence, and the power of myth. " Fury has the poetic and wild force of the desert. In its pages there is tenderness, fear and forceful, rhythmic writing with images that are difficult to forget. It is about the violence of desire that turns us into dogs that drool, howl and bite, but also about love in the midst of hostility and helplessness. This is why it is a disturbing and, at the same time, deeply moving novel." -M nica Ojeda "A beguiling and enticing fever dream of sex and violence in the Mexican desert. . . . This is impossible to put down." -Publishers Weekly , starred review In a desert dotted with war-torn towns, Lazaro and Juan are two soldiers from opposing camps who abandon the war and, while fleeing, become lovers and discover a dark truth. Vicente Barrera, a salesman who swept into the lives of women who both hated and revered him, spends his last days tied up like a mad dog. A morgue worker, Salvador, gets lost in the desert and hallucinating from heat and thirst, mistakes the cactus for the person he loves. Over the echoes of the stories of these broken men-and of their mothers, lovers and companions-Mendoza explores her characters' passions in a way that simmers on the page, and then explodes with pain, fear and desire in a landscape that imprisons them. After winning the International Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz Poetry Prize, Clyo Mendoza has written a novel of extraordinary beauty where language embarks on a hallucinatory trip through eroticism, the transitions of conscience, and the possibility of multiple beings inhabiting a single body. In this journey through madness, incest, sexual abuse, infidelity, and silence, Fury offers a moving questioning of the complexity of love and suffering. The desert is where these characters' destinies become intertwined, where their wounds are inherited and bled dry. Readers will be blown away by the sensitivity of the writing, and will shudder at the way violence conveyed with a poetic forcefulness and a fierce mastery of the Mexican oral tradition.

- i***- (21)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI am very happy with this seller. The item took a little while to get to me but it’s worth it as I received it at a great price. I had actually ordered a second item from the same seller not realizing my husband had already ordered me this one that had already shipped. As soon as I realized this, I messaged the seller before this one shipped and they cancelled the order and credited me right away. Thank you!
