Showing results for "Cristina Rivera Garza" in Short Stories

Adentrarse en la geografía de estos relatos es experimentar una variedad de los registros que sacuden al mundo, al suspenso de las desapariciones insólitas: a uno no sólo se le pierde la cabeza, sino también la mano en un descuido.

“One of Mexico’s greatest living writers,” wrote Jonathan Lethem in 2018, “we are just barely beginning to catch up to what she has to offer.” In the years since, Rivera Garza’s work has received widespread recognition: she was awarded a MacArthur Genius Grant for fiction and was a finalist for the 2020 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism. Yet we have still only started to discover the full range of a writer who is at once an incisive voice on migration, borders, and violence against women, as well as a high stylist in the manner of Lispector or Duras.
