Story
On the dawn of 16 July 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza, Cristina Rivera Garza’s sister, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend and subsumed into Mexico's dark and relentless history of femicide. She was a twenty-year-old architecture student who had been trying for years to end her relationship with a high school boyfriend who insisted on not letting her go. A few weeks before the tragedy, Liliana made a definitive decision: at the height of her winter she had discovered that, as Albert Camus had said, there was an invincible summer in her.

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.

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.

Story
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.
