Review of "The Puma" by Daniel Wiles: The novel follows father Bernardo and son James as they relocate from England to the remote Patagonian woods. Bernardo, haunted by past wartime and mining violence, seeks a new life but turns to revenge after a tragedy. The narrative interweaves past and present, linking experiences in England, Liverpool, France and Patagonia. The book critiques 20th‑century masculinity and contrasts capitalist exploitation with indigenous Mapuche resilience. Critics note uneven prose but acknowledge the visceral exploration of marginalised histories, giving the work a mixed reception.
