2666
A Novel
Roberto Bolaño; Translated from the Spanish by Natasha Wimmer
Picador
"Bolaño was a difficult, angry, self-reflexive writer who lived an erratic and occasionally unpleasant life. And Americans, as the head of the Swedish Academy has annoyingly but rightly pointed out, don't read much fiction in translation anyway. But when the first of Bolaño's major novels,
The Savage Detectives
, a massive, bizarre epic about a band of avant-garde Mexican poets, was published in the U.S. last year, it instantly became a cult hit among readers and practically a fetish object to critics. Bolaño's second (and last) major novel is titled
2666
, and if anything, it is even more massive and more bizarre. It is also a masterpiece, the electrifying literary event of the year."—

Captain of the Sleepers
A Novel
Mayra Montero; Translated by Edith Grossman
Picador
"In her new novel,
Captain of the Sleepers
, Mayra Montero probes those depths of inner ruin with a gelid calm and lucid exactitude that belies her character's tortured passions and the story's tropical settings—Puerto Rico, St. Croix and, most important, Vieques, the island to the side of P.R. in which the past, as Faulkner so wearily told us (and Montero appropriately quotes), isn't even past . . . A worthy peer of the likes of Mario Vargas Llosa."—

Dancing to "Almendra"
A Novel
Mayra Montero; Translated by Edith Grossman
Picador
"
Dancing to 'Almendra
,' [Mayra Montero's] ninth novel, [is] lovingly translated by Edith Grossman: a flawless little book with a deceptively light touch . . . I devoured [the book] with absolute delight, and I'm looking forward to reading it again, and to reading anything Montero might come up with next. It's tempting to think in categories . . . but a good novel denies them, nimbly and without visible effort. This novel is great fun to read, and a paradoxical thing to contemplate. When I was done, I wasn't sure if it was an especially well-written genre story, or a literary book based upon an especially raffish plot. Perhaps there's no difference between the two, after all."—

A Novel
Alisa Valdés-Rodríguez
St. Martin's Griffin
"Although its characters are proudly Latina, the story is more than a primer on Hispanic culture. It's also about friendship, growing up, and negotiating the bumps and jolts of everyday life . . . Valdes-Rodriguez's writing style is raunchy yet refined, with a variable cadence that echoes six different voices. But in the end, it's the complex, finely drawn characters who make the book work."—
