Reviews for Industrial Park
"A forceful and sensitive translation, the story follows the struggles of three female workers in Sao Paulo. . . . Through it all these strong women survive in a world where sharing popcorn with a lover is ultimately more real than all the talk of triumph of the proletariat."—Publishers Weekly
