Trout, Belly Up
Rodrigo Fuentes, Ellen Jones (translation)
In seven interconnected short stories, the Guatemalan countryside is ever-present: a place of timeless peace, & the site of sudden violence. Don Henrik, a good man struck time & again by misfortune, confronts the crude realities of farming life, family obligation, & the intrusions of merciless entrepreneurs, hitmen, drug dealers, & fallen angels, all wanting their piece of the pie.
Told with precision & a stark beauty, Trout, Belly Up is a beguiling, disturbing ensemble of moments set in the heart of a rural landscape in a country where brutality is never far from the surface.
