Reviews
"Languageitself seems to be invested with a strange demiurgic force. Herrera's style -both precise and elusive, specific and elliptical - is uncannily well suited todepict the in-between state his characters inhabit." --Tony Wood, LRB "Herrera shuns proper names of peopleand places: Mexico City is the "Big Chilango," characters bear names such asthe Artist, the Witch, and Mr. Q. His ghostly landscapes are reminiscent ofRulfo's in the iconic novel Pedro Páramo, but his characters are even moreethereal. Many are up to no good, delivering packages whose contents we canonly guess at, trying to avoid falling into vast sinkholes and the jails of LaMigra. The bad guys speak as if in a Peckinpah film. [...] The [three novels are] even morepowerful read together. A welcome gathering of centrifugal works by one ofMexico's most accomplished contemporary writers." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review Praise for Yuri Herrera "Yuri Herrera is Mexico's greatest novelist. His spare, poetic narratives and incomparable prose read like epics compacted into a single perfect punch - they ring your bell, your being, your soul."--Francisco Goldman, author of Say Her Name "Mr. Herrera's writing is poetic and defamiliarizing; translator Lisa Dillman has done well to capture his neologisms, which shift the setting into the surreal."-- Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal "My favorite of the new Mexican writers." --John Powers, NPR Fresh Air "Herrera's metaphors grasp the freedom, and the alarming disorientation, of transition and translation." --Maya Jaggi, The Guardian "Yuri Herrera's tiny, beautiful novels each conjure myth and metaphor from a contemporary experience in a precise location, transformed by archaic-colloquial prose." --Lorna Scott-Fox, Times Literary Supplement "Playful, prophetic, unnerving books that deserve to be read several times." --Eileen Battersby, Irish Times Praise for The Transmigration of Bodies "Herrera's characteristic concision goes a step further here, his skill for expression more impressive in its restraint than its excess. This is a harsh novel, as are those from a borderland besieged by extreme violence, but it's also oddly comforting, in large part due to its exceptional literary quality."-- El País " The Transmigration of Bodies is a magnificent book and its author one of the few indispensable Latin American writers of our times."--Patricio Pron, author of My Fathers' Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain Praise for Kingdom Cons "I was captured by Kingdom Cons , by Yuri Herrera. His writing style is like nobody else's, a unique turn of language, a kind of poetic slang... seeming to fall in my hands from an alternative sky." --Patti Smith "Razor sharp and inimitable--crafted in a way that resembles fable-- Kingdom Cons is set in the wake of chaos around the border: the border between two particular countries, yes, but also between worlds, between possibilities, and between ways of seeing." --John Ganiard, Literati Bookstore, Ann Arbor MI "Herrera's ability to capture the mind's eye and weave an indelible image and story is uncanny. This, his third novel, might be his best yet. In Kingdom Cons Herrera delivers a stunning example of how art can dissolve boundaries and speak truth to power." --Matt Keliher, Subtext Books, St Paul, MN " Kingdom Cons is revelatory. I think Yuri Herrera has created his own genre. The mix of high and low culture, the argot of the streets with the poetic narrative--it's something else. Mexico as a hallucination." --Mark Haber, Brazos Bookstore, Houston, TX, Praise for Yuri Herrera "Yuri Herrera is Mexico's greatest novelist. His spare, poetic narratives and incomparable prose read like epics compacted into a single perfect punch - they ring your bell, your being, your soul."--Francisco Goldman, author of Say Her Name "Mr. Herrera's writing is poetic and defamiliarizing; translator Lisa Dillman has done well to capture his neologisms, which shift the setting into the surreal." -- Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal "My favorite of the new Mexican writers." --John Powers, NPR Fresh Air "Herrera's metaphors grasp the freedom, and the alarming disorientation, of transition and translation." --Maya Jaggi, The Guardian "Yuri Herrera's tiny, beautiful novels each conjure myth and metaphor from a contemporary experience in a precise location, transformed by archaic-colloquial prose." --Lorna Scott-Fox, Times Literary Supplement "Playful, prophetic, unnerving books that deserve to be read several times." --Eileen Battersby, Irish Times Praise for The Transmigration of Bodies "Herrera's characteristic concision goes a step further here, his skill for expression more impressive in its restraint than its excess.

Synopsis
The Mexico we hear of in the news -- the drug cartels, migration and senseless violence -- is rich soil for Herrera's moving stories of people who live in this reality but also live in the timeless realm of myth, epic and fairy tale, such as the singer Lobo in Kingdom Cons who loves the drug lord's own daughter, Makina who crosses borders to find her brother in Signs Preceding the End of the World , and the Redeemer, a hard-boiled hero looking to broker peace between feuding families during a pandemic in The Transmigration of Bodies . These three novels get to the heart of the matter in a truly original way. They are storytelling that is at once timely and timeless., The Mexico we hear of in the news--the drug cartels, migration and senseless violence--is rich soil for Herrera's moving stories of people who live in this reality but also live in the timeless realm of myth, epic and fairy tale, such as the singer Lobo in Kingdom Cons who loves the drug lord's own daughter, Makina who crosses borders to find her brother in Signs Preceding the End of the World , and the Redeemer, a hard-boiled hero looking to broker peace between feuding families during a pandemic in The Transmigration of Bodies .
