A review by houlcroft
Death to the Bullshit Artists of South Texas by Fernando A. Flores

5.0

Flores’ writing is playful, sparse and raw, the characters rich and detailed, with the stories seeming to trap just a moment of their wider lives, while the music vibrates off the pages. I loved the subtle nods to real bands almost as much as I loved the names of the fictional musicians and groups.
To list my favourite stories would do the collection disservice, (but they’re definitely ‘The House Band for the Hotel Cuerpo de la Paz’ and ‘The Exit and Arrival of Beebee Kwaiczar) Honestly, one of my favourite books this year.
