María José Ferrada‘s second novel, El hombre del cartel, published in late 2020 in Ferrada’s native Chile, is already licensed in Brazil, Spain, USA, Denmark, Italy, Germany! The audio adaptation is also underway.
El hombre del cartel is already published in Brazil and is forthcoming in the US in December ’22 with the title “How to Turn into a Bird”
“With all the brutal simplicity of a fairy tale, Ferrada lays bare the blind and violent intolerance that reigns on the precarious outskirts of an unequal society. A deceptively simple tale in a sensitive translation by Elizabeth Bryer—this book is a boon to English-speaking readers.”
