[COMPLETE] Cleanup: Paradais

[Drace]

There are a number of issues that need to be cleaned up with the novella Paradais by Fernanda Melchor. I’m going to just focus on the English language editions since my Spanish isn’t the best.

1. All Editions: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

- The Original Publication Date is missing its month and day. It should be February 2, 2021.

2. US Hardcover Edition: Paradais (ISBN 9780811231329)

- The page count is incorrect. It should be 112.

- The description is incorrect. Transcribed directly from the jacket:

Inside a luxury housing complex, two misfit teenagers sneak around and get drunk. Franco, lonely, overweight, and addicted to porn, obsessively fantasizes about seducing his neighbor—an attractive married woman and mother—while Polo dreams about quitting his awful job as the gated community’s gardener and fleeing his overbearing mother and their narco-controlled village. Faced with the impossibility of getting what they think they deserve, Franco and Polo hatch a mindless and macabre scheme.

Written in a thrilling torrent of prose by one of our most exciting new writers, Paradais explores the explosive fragility of Mexican society—fractured by issues of race, class, and violence—and how the myths, desires, and hardships of teenagers can tear life apart at the seams.
