Claudia Salazar Jiménez, Blood of the Dawn [La sangre de la aurora], Dallas: Deep Vellum Publishing, 2016
- Winner of Premio Las Américas de Novela 2014
- “A bold, breviloquent debut novel whose polyhedral story line plunges sans parachute into the bloody chamber of political violence unleashed during the massacre-ridden years in Peru…The narrative hits the ground running in pithy, breathless paragraphs. They hover, incorporeal words and phrases, poised and charged like roiling storm clouds that counterpoint the grounding metaphor of how women’s bodies inevitably become the battle grounds of patriarchal violence.” —New York Times Book Review
