The Secret Dinner
by Raphael Montes
Raphael Montes built a cannibal farce out of a Rio rent hike, and The Secret Dinner is meaner and funnier than that premise has any right to be. Four broke students start cooking for the city's richest appetites, and Zoe Perry's translation keeps the Brazilian class satire sharp enough to cut. Horror readers will know within twenty pages whether they can stay.
