In the far distant future, the country is laid waste by a nuclear holocaust. Twelve-year-old Riddley Walker tells his story in a language as fractured as the world in which he lives. As Riddley steps outside the confines of his small world, he finds himself caught up in intrigue and a frantic quest for power, desperately trying to make sense of things.
Set in a remote future in a post-nuclear holocaust England (Inland), Hoban has imagined a humanity regressed to an iron-age, semi-literate state—and invented a language to represent it. Riddley is at once the Huck Finn and the Stephen Dedalus of his culture—rebel, change agent, and artist.
This is a brilliant, unique, completely realized work of fiction. One reads it again and again, discovering new wonders every time through. Join Riddley Walker on his journey of discovery and survival in a world that echoes both the past and a possible future.
The Death of Artemio Cruz is a haunting voyage into the soul of modern Mexico. As the novel opens, Artemio Cruz, an all-powerful newspaper magnate and land baron, lies confined to his bed. In dreamlike flashes, he recalls the pivotal episodes of his life.
Carlos Fuentes masterfully manipulates this kaleidoscope of images with dazzling inventiveness, layering memory upon memory. From Cruz’s heroic campaigns during the Mexican Revolution, through his relentless climb from poverty to wealth, to his uneasy death, this novel captures the essence of a nation’s struggles and triumphs.
With virile, honest writing in a stream of ebbing consciousness, Fuentes explores the ironies of Mexican history, the burden of its past, and the anguish of its present. Perhaps Fuentes’s masterpiece, this book remains a cornerstone of Latin American fiction.
