| book description |

Inspired by J. M. Coetzeeâ€™s Disgrace, El NiÃ±o tracks the survival of one woman and a young, undocumented migrant as they journey through the no-manâ€™s-land of a remote southwestern desert. Honey hasnâ€™t seen her mother, Marianne, in more than two years. She drives deep into the once-prosperous border region of the Oro Desert for a surprise visit, only to discover that Marianne has vanished. Alone in an unforgiving environment populated with hostile locals, she meets ChÃ¡vez, a young â€œcoyoteâ€ or human trafficker, who convinces Honey he knows her motherâ€™s whereabouts and agrees to take her there â€” for a price. As they make their way through the Oroâ€™s brutal no-manâ€™s-land they are tracked by Ocho, a teenage bounty hunter determined to recruit ChÃ¡vez. And then there is Baez, Marianneâ€™s wizened Shepherd-coyote mix, whose death and life intimately intersect with Honey and ChÃ¡vez's search for Marianne and who tells the story of the Oro Desert as it slowly comes apart. Told in three distinct voices, El NiÃ±o is an intricately constructed and starkly written novel from a bold and inventive new writer.
