Reviewing Mexican author Yuri Herrera’s Signs Preceding the End of the World last year, I marvelled at how he created a whole world teeming with living, breathing characters in a few short chapters. In his latest novella, a pulp thriller of sorts, he has surpassed that achievement, with the additional complication that two of the central characters are, in fact, dead.
