*Crooked Plow*

That is a recently translated Brazilian novel by Itamar Vieira Junior, set in Bahia.  It is better to read this one without any spoilers.  And I am pleased to announce that we have another great Latin American (and Brazilian) novel, worthy of entering the canon.

I haven’t seen a good ungated review of the book, as no one seems to care.  I did like this NYRoB (gated) review.  Further on the plus side, the book is also short and an easy read.
