The Iliac Crest
​
Cristina Rivera Garza

Picture

The Iliac Crest, a novel originally published in Spanish as La cresta de ilión by the renown Mexican author Cristina Rivera Garza, will debut its English version this Fall 2017. With a skillful translation by Sarah Booker, The Iliac Crest, renews its flight in search for new horizons in the English-literary world. 

The story begins on a dark stormy night when the unnamed protagonist lets a mysterious woman into his house, all while waiting for a different woman, his ex-partner. He soon finds himself in an unexpected circumstance with both women, whose remarkably eerie presence makes him question their real intentions as well as his own reality and, for some unbeknown reason, even his gender. 

Cristina Rivera Garza fills every chapter with suspense and nonstop mystery. Nonetheless, the plot is not centered in resolving these mysteries, but rather, it provides the reader a mind-bending journey filled with symbolism and a reality that follows its own rules of logic. Like Dali's clocks, time and space melt before the reader's eyes as we discover the secret of The Iliac Crest.   
Cristina Rivera Garza (Tamaulipas, Mexico) is a renown Mexican writer. She has received numerous literary awards including: the Roger Caillois Award for Latin American Literature (Paris, 2013); as well as the Anna Seghers (Berlin, 2005), she is the only author who has won the International Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize twice, in 2001 for her novel Nadie me verá llorar  and again in 2009 for her novel La muerte me da.

The Iliac Crest is a publication by Feminist Press and will soon be available for purchase through Amazon. Click here to purchase.
