Named one of the ten best fiction books of 2018 by the New York
Times en Espanol, Cockfight is the debut work by Ecuadorian writer
and journalist Maria Fernanda Ampuero. In lucid and compelling
prose, Ampuero sheds light on the hidden aspects of the home: the
grotesque realities of family, coming of age, religion, and class
struggle. A family's maids witness a horrible cycle of abuse, a
girl is auctioned off by a gang of criminals, and two sisters find
themselves at the mercy of their spiteful brother. With violence
masquerading as love, characters spend their lives trapped
reenacting their past traumas. Heralding a brutal and singular new
voice, Cockfight explores the power of the home to both create and
destroy those within it.
