Claudia Salazar Jimenez was born in Lima, Peru, in 1976. Currently
based in New York, she studied Literature in the National
University of San Marcos and has a PHD in Literature from NYU.
Salazar Jimenez is a literary critic, cultural manager, and the
founder and director of PERUFEST, the first Peruvian cinema
festival in New York. Her short stories have appeared in several
online publications and in international anthologies, and her debut
novel, Blood of the Dawn, was awarded the Americas Narrative Prize
in 2014.
Elizabeth Bryer is a translator and writer from Australia. Her
translations have previously appeared in Words without Borders and
Overland Literary Journal, and her writing about translation has
been published in Sydney Review of Books. In 2016 she curated an
edition of Seizure Online, which she dedicated to translated
fiction and poetry. Her creative writing has been widely
anthologized in publications including The Lifted Brow, Meanjin and
Best Australian Science Writing."
“A bold, breviloquent debut novel whose polyhedral story line
plunges sans parachute into the bloody chamber of political
violence unleashed during the massacre-ridden years in Peru.” —
Valerie Miles, The New York Times
“With this courageous and necessary novel, Salazar Jiménez refuses
to let the stories of the victims of 'the time of fear' get away.
The violence that permeated Peru in the 1980s and 1990s is
unspeakable, which is exactly why it needs to be spoken. That's
what Salazar Jiménez does in this beautiful, horrifying work of
art.” — Michael Schaub, NPR Books
"Jiménez’s prose is clear-cut and doesn’t sugarcoat the realities
of the insurgence and the effects it had on the people of Peru.
When this debut novel was first published in Spanish, Jiménez
received the 2014 Americas Narrative Prize. Read it, and you’ll see
why.” — Cassidy Foust, Literary Hub
"Fiery and political debut." — Publishers Weekly
“Blood of the Dawn is a delirious, harrowing onslaught of mixed
allegiances and betrayals, punctuated with machete chops and the
machine gun’s staccato call.” — Kenneth Rupp, The Habitat
"Jiménez’s frequent shifts in scene, tense, and perspective reflect
the relentless insecurity wrought by Shining Path’s guerrilla
tactics and terrorist acts... English-speaking readers will
appreciate the ways in which Bryer’s translation preserves each
woman’s unique cadence, reminding us that tragedy is experienced on
a individual level, even as it ravages an entire country." — The
Arkansas International
“This incendiary novel manages to pair an honest look at a social
and national trauma with an intimate portrayal of the personal
tragedies within.” — Librairie Drawn & Quarterly blog
"A brief novel, but an intense one, whose every word flexes with a
taut power.” — Josh is Writing blog
“Composed of very brief and stylistically varied
sections—confession, interrogation, fever dream, prose poem—Blood
of the Dawn rapidly switches between narratives, creating a sort of
social collage.” — Ratik Asokan, The Nation
“A hair-raising look at violence, women and Perú. Highly
recommended. And visceral.” — Santiago Roncagliolo
“Among the best books of the year . . . Her use of short
paragraphs, quotes, photography, testimony and the different
voices, turn this death tale into a recovery of the women’s
experience. Women are the ones who star in this sum of voices like
a tragic chorus.” — Julio Ortega, El Boomeran
“It’s an original novel. Beyond the polemic topic, Blood of the
Dawn only talks about literature. . . . Lyrical and
cinematographic. If there are certain things that can’t be
(shouldn’t be) told with words, we cannot silence them either.” —
Sophie Canal
“This may one be the first novels to talk about this issue from the
women’s point of view, and in a very effective way. . . . Blood of
the Dawn is an original addition to the abundant literature on this
difficult and polemic episode of our recent history.” — Javier
