NPR’s Books We Love Featured ‘Book of Wanderers’

August 31, 2022

National Public Radio’s Books We Love recently featured Reyes Ramirez‘s The Book of Wanders on its Best Books 2022 list.

On Wanderers:

It’s tempting to describe the tales in this masterful debut collection of short stories as both of and for our current moment. But this painterly illumination of culture, heritage, language and humanity isn’t of the zeitgeist; rather, it tells a profound truth about the many realities constituting Latino/a/Hispanic life in the Americas. Hop on the surrealist bus to understanding that Reyes Ramirez conjures for us, and you’ll hear echoes of Dashiell Hammett, Gabriel García Márquez and Alfonsina Storni. But ultimately, Ramirez’s short story collection is singular, and the real deal.
