(1) YA Seventeen-year-old Abram lives with his grandmother in Texas after his father's death and his mother's disappearance. As Abram's relationship with classmate Ophelia grows romantic, his uncle, Claudio, seizes upon Abram's fighting prowess and enrolls Abram in a shady, dangerous fight that has tragic consequences. With allusions and parallels to Hamlet, Jiménez's imagery-heavy YA debut conveys simultaneously a vivid sense of immediacy and reflective distance.
