This review. Wow. By a writer I admire so much. No puedo. 😩🥹🙏🏼
Review: Sordidez by E.G. Condé is a triumph of Latinx CliFi, one which will be long remembered. Dealing with issues of climate change, colonialism, and indigenous revolutions, this book weaves a captivating spell. A modern SF masterpiece.
