The Cannibal of Guadalajara

Winner of the Gival Press Novel Award, "The Cannibal of Guadalajara" is a refreshing dark comedy, with a range of characters who commingle between Mexico and Manhattan among their nightmares and dreams. Winner gives the reader surprises of sex and romance and paints a sympathetic and precise description of their world. Wildly imaginative, it paints a lush yet pointedly satirical portrait of New Yorkers in love and lust, baby boomers in mid-life misadventures, Gen-Xers in the grip of perennial childhood, and the aspirations that have led them all astray. The Brooklyn Rail: "The Cannibal of Guadalajara...is a powerful tale of unlikely menage-a-trois...[it] is above all a road trip through the nightmares and wet dreams of middle-aged disaffection, regret, and redemption."--Andrea Scrima "Families come in all shapes and sizes; sometimes they sneak up on us fully formed. This is what happens to Margaret Heller after her divorce.... Winner, who won the Gival Press Novel Award, writes with great cunning and precision... Winner transforms embarrassing moments into the briefest of epiphanies. Margaret, Dante and Alfred are as human as they possibly can be." - Andi Diehn, Debut Fiction ForeSight Feature in the May/June 2010 issue of ForeWord Reviews
