by **Fernanda Melchor** (Author), **Sophie Hughes** (Translator)

Inside a luxury housing complex, two misfit teenagers sneak around and get drunk. Franco Andrade, lonely, overweight, and addicted to porn, obsessively fantasizes about seducing his neighbor--an attractive married woman and mother--while Polo dreams about quitting his grueling job as a gardener within the gated community and fleeing his overbearing mother and their narco-controlled village. Each facing the impossibility of getting what he thinks he deserves, Franco and Polo hatch a mindless and macabre scheme. Written in a chilling torrent of prose by one of our most thrilling new writers, _Paradais_ explores the explosive fragility of Mexican society--with its racist, classist, hyper violent tendencies--and how the myths, desires, and hardships of teenagers can tear life apart at the seams.
