Praise for Yuri Herrera
"Herrera is Mexico's greatest novelist." —Francisco Goldman
"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
About Kingdom Cons
In the court of the King, everyone knows their place. But as the Artist wins hearts and egos with his ballads, uncomfortable truths emerge that shake the Kingdom to its core. Part surreal fable and part narco-lit romance, this prize-winning novel from Yuri Herrera questions the price of keeping your integrity in a world ruled by patronage and power.
