I believe this excellent in-depth @clereviewbooks review by @jack_rockwell1 of AMERICAN ABDUCTIONS, my 3rd novel, is the 1st one written AFTER January 20th, 2025.

It’s also one in which the style of AMERICAN ABDUCTIONS is aptly described as “minimalism-within-maximalism”

[Cleveland Review of Books @clereviewbooks]

"Cárdenas’s characters grapple with many emotions towards their abducted parents, including ugly ones like resentment and indifference."

@jack_rockwell1 on @IneluctableQuak's “American Abductions”

[Cleveland Review of Books @clereviewbooks]

"This head-spinning trajectory reflects a philosophy of translation where processes that appear deliberately non-linear and inefficient are a means to more beautiful ends."

“Stealing the work of Roberto Bolaño came up as a joke, whose consequences still do not compute.”
