Story
October 18, 2019. Cristina Rivera Garza travels from her home in Texas to Mexico City, in search of an old, unresolved criminal file. “My name is Cristina Rivera Garza,” she writes in her request to the attorney general, “and I am writing to you as a relative of Liliana Rivera Garza, who was murdered on July 16, 1990.” It’s been twenty-nine years. Twenty-nine years, three months, and two days since Liliana was murdered by an abusive ex-boyfriend.

Story
The second annual Alchemy Lecture was presented in November 2023 at York University to a sold out in-person audience and nearly one thousand live online viewers. Moderated by Dr. Christina Sharpe, the Alchemists—agile thinkers and practitioners working across a range of disciplines and geographies—convened to discuss their radical visions of the beautiful world, and the manifestos that may help to guide us there. Their treatises have been captured and luminously expanded in this book.

Story
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. Nos acercamos al encuentro de la intelectualidad universitaria y el sexo primitivo. Sentimos el vacío claustrofóbico del miedo durante un secuestro para luego quedar envueltos en la violencia y el enigma.

Una mujer descubre accidentalmente el cadáver castrado de un joven. El cuerpo yace al fondo de un callejón, junto a unos enigmáticos versos de la poeta argentina Alejandra Pizarnik. Cuando la mujer –que se hace llamar Cristina Rivera Garza y ha leído la obra poética de Pizarnik– notifica su hallazgo a la policía, se convierte, de manera automática, en la misteriosa Informante. ¿Qué ha visto? ¿Qué cree que significan esos versos, que comienzan así: "Cuídate de mí amor mío"?

Story
This hybrid collection of short crónicas, journalism, and personal essays on systemic violence in contemporary Mexico and along the US-Mexico border draws together literary theory and historical analysis to outline how neoliberalism, corruption, and drug trafficking - culminating in the misnamed “war on drugs” - has shaped Mexico. Working from and against this political context, Cristina Rivera Garza posits that collective grief is an act of resistance against state violence and that writing is a powerful mode of seeking social justice and embodying resilience.

Story
“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.

Una detective reconvertida en escritora vuelve, después de mucho tiempo y bastantes fracasos, a aceptar un caso que puede resarcirla y que, en el fondo, la seduce: encontrar y traer de vuelta a una mujer que abandonó a su marido para huir con otro hombre hacia el interior de la taiga —paisaje boreal de cielo gris y coníferas altas—, donde el espesor del bosque interminable y la soledad, casi total, parecen absorber sus conciencias.

Story
Ésta es la historia de una mujer que es, en realidad, dos mujeres: Marina Espinosa, casada con un médico prominente y dedicada a la vida doméstica; y Xian, su alter ego, más libre y misteriosa. Un accidente automovilístico abre la puerta a un universo en el que Marina no se había atrevido a entrar. Abandona a su marido y la vida anodina que lleva. Se esconde en un hotel viejo, donde va desempolvando cartas o inmortalizando en su laptop situaciones que transcurren en distintas épocas o tiempos simultáneos; fragmentos de noticias; datos históricos; pasajes de orfandad y maltrato.
