NOVELIST

Mexico

Considered one of the most important writers of Latin America, he founded the Crack movement, which militates for a critical, thoughtful Mexican literature. In Les Bandits, he takes readers behind the scenes of Wall Street and the Cold War, deep into the heart of capitalism, telling a family history in a roman-noir style with both fictional and historical characters. With cynicism and humor, Jorge Volpi explores one of this world’s greatest economic catastrophes.
