The Pain of Others

A Novel

Praise for Anoxia:

“The macabre and stimulating story of a woman drawn into the world of mortuary photography…Dolores’s uncanny feelings build as her town is plagued by floods, giving this exploration of grief a gravitas that edges on the gothic, even as Hernández’s style remains sober and satisfyingly understated. This will linger in readers’ minds.” —Publishers Weekly

“Moody and multi-layered, this novel, like its photography subjects, has earned a long and eerie afterlife.” —CrimeReads, The Best International Fiction of the Month

Anoxia is a lovely, dark, delicately written meditation on grief.” —Erika T. Wurth, author of White Horse
