The Shadow of the Mammoth

“The Shadow of the Mammoth is a masterful book, a singular collection focused on singularities. In a world intent on consuming mass quantities of media, Morábito has instead chosen to narrow his scope to one nail, one piccolo note, one patch of grass abutting an airport runway, and turn these small circumstances into worlds unto themselves.” —Elizabeth Gonzalez James, author of The Bullet Swallower

Praise for Home Reading Service:

“A satisfying fable, at once satiric and soulful, of a literary awakening in Mexico…this idiosyncratic performance will keep its audience rapt.” —Publishers Weekly

“First, the tempting promise of an almost existential discovery, then bewilderment, subtle humor, and then everything in this story that seemed small and simple strikes back with extraordinary resonance. What a pleasure it always is to read Morábito.” —Samanta Schweblin, author of Fever Dream and Mouthful of Birds
