James Cañón

Tales from the Town of Widows shortlisted by Elle Magazine!

The following review will appear in the January issue of Elle Magazine under their “Shortlist” section:
“From its bravura opening, in which the men of a fictional Colombian mountain town have been marched off to fight in a decades-long guerrilla war, leaving the womenfolk to form a new social order, James Cañón’s brilliant Tales from the Town of Widows has an imaginative reach that encompasses political, philosophical, sexual, religious, and magical realms while it also explores the deeper conflicts between tradition and freedom that underlie this mesmerizing debut novel.”
