$15.00A wild, funny, breathtaking novel about the ragtag members of an obscure literary movement and their varying escapades, starting in Mexico City circa 1975 and spreading around the world, to the end of the century. The late Bolano, a Chilean, was a master of the written word, and Natasha Wimmer (whose work is showcased in the book) is his best English translator. That he is no longer writing is to our detriment. A phenomenal read, HIGHLY recommended.

Lisa McKay, a psychologist who works with humanitarian relief, explores themes of injustice, religious reconciliation, suffering & faith through the eyes of 18-year-old Cori. When her mission trip goes tragically awry after Muslim & Christian tensions flare up, she & her team escape into the jungles to avoid the escalating hostilities. While written from a Christian perspective, McKay gives an evenhanded treatment of Muslims, showing that violence and hatred transcend religious boundaries, and making this one of Christian fiction's best novels of the year.
