★ "[Flores'] prose is evocative, electric, and wildly original . . . This is a wild ride of a novel, and a fascinating look at a future that, sadly, seems frighteningly plausible. A stunning tale of survival and a biting critique of book bans and late capitalism." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"This book is lasagna, Samuel Delany lasagna. This crazy cakey world-making of Fernando A. Flores is all of literature, wide, plaintive, melancholy and full of feminist fellow joyousness and ways. It is totally Brother Brontë, a cool poetic guy eye towards a future protected only by the strength of friendships, mainly female, innovation, and the power of lusty youth or truth, both I think. Hated this world ending, I want more." —Eileen Myles 

"The trick with dystopia is to leave room for light, and lightness; in our real world, tragedy and comedy are braided together. Fernando A. Flores gets this: his imagination ranges from the grimmest realities, of blood and fire and life made small, all the way through to breathtaking hope, and surprise, and solidarity. Brother Brontë evokes Octavia Butler, William Gibson, and John Steinbeck; these are all my favorites, and with this book, Fernando A. Flores joins the list." —Robin Sloan, author of Moonbound

"We fans of Fernando Flores’s work have long admired his virtuoso word play, his wizardly conjuring of images, and the power of his Texas borderlands vision and voice. Brother Brontë is his wildest and bravest work yet.” —Héctor Tobar, author of Our Migrant Souls

"In rich, exciting prose, Flores takes the reader on a wild and frightening adventure, roving narrative territories left completely unexplored by other recent U.S. writing, territories bordered in the far distance by the fantastic realms of Latin American and Eastern European greats. Sardonic, disturbing, and thoroughly pleasurable, Brother Brontë feels like nothing so much as a profoundly generous gift." —Jennifer Croft, author of The Extinction of Irena Rey

"With nods to Fahrenheit 451 and The Grapes of Wrath, Flores’s Brother Brontë carves out a space for itself in the landscape of post-collapse literature—and one which it fills with as much human warmth and vibrant poetry as it does righteous anger and dystopian sadness. A visceral journey through a uniquely American future, and an essential read." —Tim Maughan, author of Infinite Detail

"Deliciously odd, funny and affecting, Brother Brontë delights at every turn—of which there are a glorious many. A puzzle where each piece not only helps complete the picture but expands its margins, I cherished every character, every story, and (again) fell in love with Fernando A. Flores’s profound empathy and wild imagination. Brother Brontë is a gorgeously bonkers joyride." —Gerardo Sámano Córdova, author of Monstrilio
