With less than one week until its US release, NERUDA ON THE PARK by Cleyvis Natera continues to accumulate critical acclaim. Elle magazine featured the book on its list of must-read books for this summer, and Zibby Owens selected the book as a Good Morning America May Book Club pick: “The inventive structure makes Cleyvis Natera's debut novel immediately stand apart from others; section sub-heads in each fictitious chapter keep the reader (well, me!) completely engaged as we follow one Dominican family in New York trying to stop the construction of a new high-rise in their neighborhood…NERUDA ON THE PARK is a creative, original work.” Natera also sat down for an interview with Refinery29 Somos, where she discussed “character development, the tension of being a so-called successful person in a low-income immigrant neighborhood, what it means to be home, Dominican beauty standards, and more.” Ballantine Books will publish the novel on May 24, 2022.
