Ecuadorian author Gabriela Alemán is joined by writer and translator Dick Cluster to discuss Alemán’s first work to appear in English: Poso Wells.

Described as a feminist eco-thriller featuring corrupt politicians and greedy land speculators, Poso Wells defies a genre, being part sci-fi, part satire and scathing in its treatment toward those in power in Ecuador.
