- Booklist

Accomplished, chilling account of the murderous growth of Mexican drug cartels, Grillo has reported from the region since 2001; his experience is evident in his easy, wry familiarity with the political and social currents of Latin America. It's a valuable contribution to the literature of the Drug War.

BAILE CON SERPIENTES | Dance with Snakes

By: Horacio Castellanos Moya 
9788483834107 | PB | 176 Pages | $19.95 | Tusquets Editores | Fiction

Language:  Spanish

Shocking and bizarre the book certainly is, but what makes it most interesting is the way in which the violence, initially inspired by a vague personal sense of vengeance, begins to threaten the entire shakily-constructed social order.
- James Crossley, Review of Contemporary Fiction

It's Castellanos Moya's fantastical novel, and a different kind of revenge fantasy. Instead of working the intellectual angle, it goes for the jugular. Nothing could be as terrifying and unpredictable as poisonous snakes. They're the perfect stand-in for real-life violence that's too extreme to be credibly portrayed in fiction.
- Natasha Wimmer, The Nation

SYNOPSIS

A yellow Chevrolet from the fifties appears parked in the street. Jacinto, a homeless man lives inside of it. One night he dies decapitated and a psychopath inherits the Chevrolet and its inhabitants: a group of snakes with frozen eyes that act as if their souls are possessed, rising to the murder, falling apart entire lives and spreading terror in town.
