Hurricane Season (Spanish: Temporada de huracanes) is the second novel by Mexican writer Fernanda Melchor, published in April 2017[1] by Literatura Random House.[2][3] It is a nonlinear narrative[4] and a third-person narrative.[5] It focuses on the events surrounding the murder of the Witch of La Matosa, an impoverished fictional town in Mexico through which Melchor explores violence and machismo in Mexican society.[6]

The novel was a critical and commercial success,[7] solidifying Melchor as one of the most acclaimed Latin American writers of her generation.[8][9][10] It has been translated into German by Angelica Ammar,[9] and into English by Sophie Hughes.[11] The novel was awarded the 2019 International Literature Award,[12] shortlisted for the 2020 International Booker Prize[13] and the 2021 International Dublin Literary Award,[14] and longlisted for the 2020 National Book Award for Translated Literature.[15] A film adaptation of the same name was released by Netflix in 2023, directed by Elisa Miller.
