"""Cond�'s brutal, mystical, and deeply felt speculative debut lifts up a vision of Indigenous resistance and renewal in the face of climate change and colonizers. The author's depiction of Ta�no culture is profound, his evocative images of a land in ruin are visceral, and the grief and sheer determination expressed through his characters is often so vivid as to be overwhelming. The result is a beautiful blend of futurism and magical realism that delivers a hopeful message of human resilience."" - Publishers Weekly starred review ""Indigenous culture is at war with imperialism in E. G. Cond�'s haunting novel Sordidez Evocative and descriptive, the language captures the lushness of Puerto Rico and the devastation of the desiccated Yucat�n peninsula. It is dreamy and vengeful, a character unto itself. It is also multilingual, highlighting words and phrases from Arawak and Mayan languages At its heart, Sordidez is a clarion call to recognize that the political and biological ecosystems of the world are intertwined."" - Foreword Reviews"
