When a professor named Cristina Rivera Garza stumbles upon the corpse of a man in a dark alley, she finds a stark warning scrawled on the brick wall beside the body, written in coral nail polish: "Beware of me, my love / beware of the silent woman in the desert." After reporting the crime to the police, the professor becomes the lead informant of the case, led by a detective with a newfound obsession with poetry and a long list of failures on her back. But what has the professor really seen? As more bodies of men are found across the city, the detective tries to decipher the meaning of the poems, and if they are facing a darker stream of violence spreading throughout the city. Death Takes Me is a thrilling masterpiece of literary fiction that flips the traditional crime narrative on its head, in a world where death is rampant and violence is gendered. Written in sentences as sharp as the cuts on the bodies of the victims - a word which, in Spanish, is always feminine - Death Takes Me unfolds with the charged logic of a dream, moving from the professor's classroom into the slippery worlds of Latin American poetry and art, as it explores with masterful imagination the unstable terrains of desire and sexuality"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C826383</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C826383</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rivera Garza, Cristina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/826383172</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593737002/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liliana's Invincible Summer]]></title><description><![CDATA["In the early hours of July 16, 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza was murdered by her abusive ex-boyfriend.

In her own groundbreaking novel, Autobiography of Cotton, Cristina Rivera Garza recounts her grandparents' journey from mining towns to those same cotton fields as it intersects with Revueltas's life in a vivid and evocative history of cotton cultivation along the Mexico-US border. Through archival research and personal narrative, Rivera Garza chronicles the way cotton transformed the borderlands by reconstructing the cotton workers' strike and reveals how cycles of deprivation and ecocide persist across generations. Deeply personal and politically acute, Rivera Garza crafts a new kind of border novel that tells how a brittle land radically altered her grandparents' lives and the territories they helped develop. An intimate fictionalization, Autobiography of Cotton reveals a rich social history of agricultural colonization, labor activism, environmental degradation, and cross-border migration"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C870423</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C870423</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rivera Garza, Cristina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/870423172</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781644453698/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[El invencible verano de Liliana]]></title><description><![CDATA["In the early hours of July 16, 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza was murdered by her abusive ex-boyfriend.

"Deeply rewarding . . . a dreamscape with a powerful undertow . . . [a] harrowing and labyrinthine masterpiece."-Katie Kitamura,  The New York Times    A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR:  The New York Times, Esquire, Ms. Magazine, Lit Hub, The AV Club    A city is always a cemetery.  A professor named Cristina Rivera Garza stumbles upon the corpse of a mutilated man in a dark alley and reports it to the police. When shown a crime scene photo, she finds a stark warning written in tiny print with coral nail polish on the brick wall beside the body: "Beware of me, my love / beware of the silent woman in the desert." The professor becomes the first informant on the case, which is led by a detective newly obsessed with poetry and trailed by a long list of failures. But what has the professor really seen? As the bodies of more castrated men are found alongside lines of verse, the detective tries to decipher the meaning of the poems to put a stop to the violence spreading throughout the city. Originally written in Spanish, where the word "victim" is always feminine,  Death Takes Me  is a thrilling masterpiece of literary fiction that flips the traditional crime narrative of gendered violence on its head. As sharp as the cuts on the bodies of the victims, it unfolds with the charged logic of a dream, moving from the police station to the professor's classroom and through the slippery worlds of Latin American poetry and art in an imaginative exploration of the unstable terrains of desire and sexuality.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C832040</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C832040</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rivera Garza, Cristina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/832040172</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217020829/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nadie me verá llorar]]></title><description><![CDATA[«Modesta parece tener dificultadpara fijar su atención en los objetosdel mundo, pero por donde quiera quecamina lleva toda la luz delmanicomio sobre la cabeza.Una corona.» Tiene frente a su cámara fotográfica a la interna del manicomio Modesta Burgos, una mujer que le parece familiar.

Unas cuantas semanas antes de la tragedia, Liliana por fin tomó una decisión definitiva: en lo más crudo del invierto había descubierto que en ella, como bien lo había dicho Albert Camus, había un invencible verano.

"Deeply rewarding . . . a dreamscape with a powerful undertow . . . [a] harrowing and labyrinthine masterpiece."-Katie Kitamura,  The New York Times    A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR:  The New York Times, Esquire, Ms. Magazine, Lit Hub, The AV Club    A city is always a cemetery.  A professor named Cristina Rivera Garza stumbles upon the corpse of a mutilated man in a dark alley and reports it to the police. When shown a crime scene photo, she finds a stark warning written in tiny print with coral nail polish on the brick wall beside the body: "Beware of me, my love / beware of the silent woman in the desert." The professor becomes the first informant on the case, which is led by a detective newly obsessed with poetry and trailed by a long list of failures. But what has the professor really seen? As the bodies of more castrated men are found alongside lines of verse, the detective tries to decipher the meaning of the poems to put a stop to the violence spreading throughout the city. Originally written in Spanish, where the word "victim" is always feminine,  Death Takes Me  is a thrilling masterpiece of literary fiction that flips the traditional crime narrative of gendered violence on its head. As sharp as the cuts on the bodies of the victims, it unfolds with the charged logic of a dream, moving from the police station to the professor's classroom and through the slippery worlds of Latin American poetry and art in an imaginative exploration of the unstable terrains of desire and sexuality.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C832107</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C832107</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rivera Garza, Cristina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/832107172</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593737019/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Best Short Stories 2023]]></title><description><![CDATA["Contains twenty prizewinning stories chosen from the thousands published in magazines over the previous year.
