“Consistently funny - and unexpectedly sympathetic.” —The Guardian

Happy publication day to TELENOVELA! One of the 2025 highlights in @theguardian.com, it is a deeply personal yet universal story of human frailty and the power of resistance.

Another splendid thoughtful and positive review of Gonzalo C Garcia's Telenovela - this time in the Telegraph: www.telegraph.co.uk/books/what-t... "A novel with all the drama of a soap opera" 😀
Affairs, villains and hunks: A novel with all the drama of a soap opera
Telenovela is a fun, if flawed, portrait of Chilean society. Plus, the best of November’s fiction

"No human being is just one way, then. And Telenovela also suggests, quietly but boldly, that no political side is wholly virtuous either." Heart pounding. Not just a glowing review, but a real insight into the complexities of the "ambitious, unsettling" Telenovela:

The joy of coming home to a parcel from the relentlessly brilliant @galleybeggars.bsky.social. I'd actually forgotten I'd pre-ordered this so it's like a lovely surprise present from myself. A little slice of joy at the end of a gloomy week.
