Fury by Clyo Mendoza is a poetic and gripping debut novel set in the haunting landscapes of the Mexican desert. The story intertwines the fates of soldiers Juan and Lázaro, trapped in the limbo of the Mexican Revolution, and a series of women whose lives and loves are marked by vengeance, magic, and desire. The novel explores themes of violence, love, and the relentless echoes of history, crafted with a hallucinatory prose style influenced by oral traditions.
This fever dream of a narrative captivates readers with its intense imagery and rhythmic storytelling, offering a raw yet tender look at human emotions and struggles. Mendoza’s writing, compared to magic realism, blends myth, violence, and eroticism into a tale that is timeless and deeply rooted in the Mexican experience
