Set in and around the city of Veracruz in Mexico, 'This is Not Miami' delivers a series of devastating stories - spiraling from real events - that bleed together reportage and the author's rich and rigorous imagination. These cronicás - a genre unique to Latin American writing that blends reportage, narrative non-fiction, and novelistic forms - probe deeply into the motivations of murderers and misfits, into their desires and circumstances, forcing us to understand them - and even empathize - despite our wish to disdain them as monsters.
