Summary
'One of the most marvellous books I've read in years'
Rivka Galchen, author of Atmospheric Disturbances
'A bacchanal of familial entanglements, as beautiful as it is brutal'
Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of The Many Daughters of Afong Moy
Daniel Cunha has a lot on his mind. He got dumped by his pregnant girlfriend, his grandfather just dropped dead, and on the anniversary of the raid that doomed his drug-dealing aunt and uncle, his mother makes her unwanted return to Brazil.
Misfortune, however, is a Cunha family affair, and no generation is spared. As New Year's Eve nears, old secrets are brought to light and the Cunha family hurtles toward an irrevocable breaking point: a fire, a knife, and a death on the sands of Copacabana Beach.

Critic reviews
A formally mesmerizing, ventriloquial, intergenerational epic about the difficulties of being born into a family. Harold's prose moves muscular and propulsive, somehow managing to stay radiating light and grace no matter how cruel the subject matter (Sean Thor Conroe, author of Fuccboi)
In these vibrant and hypnotizing pages, Harold has given us so much pain, grace, and love that when I finished reading I called my parents just to hear their voices (Michael Zapata, author of The Lost Book of Adana Moreau)
Shoots us out of a cannon from page one . . . With riveting and fearless prose and moments of tension so thick they make your spine tingle, Troplicália weaves us in and out of the Cunha family's past and one inextricably linked week in their present (Xochitl Gonzales, New York Times bestselling author of Olga Dies Dreaming)
A riotous search for catharsis and understanding. A powerful debut (Zoraida Córdova, author of The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina)
A wild and moving saga, Tropicália bounds across generations and continents at a breakneck pace (Jakob Guanzon, author of Abundance)
