Published on March 11, 2012--the one-year anniversary of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster--Devil's Tango is a whirlwind tour of the nuclear industry, seen through the lens of the industrial and planetary crisis still unfolding in Japan. As much personal reflection as investigative journalism, Pineda's searing denunciation of the nuclear industry lays bare the connection between nuclear warfare and nuclear energy; it traces the evolution of the author's own consciousness, while recording day-by-day the worsening developments that continue to unfold at Fukushima Daiichi. Often poetic in tone, philosophical in scope, Pineda's reflections are peppered with comic monologues, day-to-day reportage, meditations, and occasional flights of fancy.

Industry Reviews

Cecile Pineda's astonishing anatomy of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster . . . echoes the best work of Rachel Carson, Marilyn Robinson, and Helen Caldicott. It is a work of a conscience truly in touch with, and deeply concerned with, humanity." -John Nichols, author, The Milagro Beanfield War

"Pineda's masterful framing of the urgency for readers to learn from the Japanese nuclear disaster and the machinations of its industry handlers makes Devil's Tango one of the most important and required reads this year." ;-Jeff Biggers, Huffington Post

"With Devil's Tango [Cecile Pineda] has created a new and necessary genre, one which reflects both the fission at the core of the nuclear process and its fragmenting effects on our minds and lives. . . . Pineda lets us glimpse how we too can bring a kind of wholeness, or healing, to our fractured world." -Joanna Macy, Eco-philosopher and author, Pass It On: Five Stories that Can Change the World
