by Yuri Herrera, translated from the Spanish by Lisa Dillman (& Other Stories, ISBN 9781908276421)

Perky crowd-funded publishers & Other Stories are rapidly gaining a name for unearthing hidden gems of world literature and this novel by Mexican author Yuri Herrera can only enhance that reputation. Set on the Mexican/US border, it tells a deceptively simple tale that is simultaneously beguiling and harrowing.
