Under the authoritarian thumb of its tech industrialist mayor, Pablo Henry Crick, the town has outlawed reading and forced most of the town's mothers to work as indentured laborers at the Big Tex Fish Cannery, which poisons the atmosphere and lines Crick's pockets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eScraping by in this godforsaken landscape are best friends Prosperina and Neftal?--the latter of whom, one of the town's last literate citizens, hides and reads the books of the mysterious renegade author Jazzmin Monelle Rivas, whose last novel, \u003ci\u003eBrother Bront?\u003c\/i\u003e, is finally in Neftal?'s possession. But after a series of increasingly violent atrocities committed by Crick's forces, Neftal? and Prosperina, with the help of a wounded bengal tigress, three scheming triplets, and an underground network of rebel t?as, rise up to reclaim their city--and in the process, unlock Rivas's connection to Three Rivers itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn adventure that only the acclaimed Fernando A. Flores could dream up, \u003ci\u003eBrother Bront? \u003c\/i\u003eis a mordant, gonzo romp through a ruined world that, in its dysfunction, tyranny, and disparity, nonetheless feels uncannily like our own. With his most ambitious book yet, Flores once again bends what fiction can do, in the process crafting a moving and unforgettable story of perseverance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernando A.
