Reviews
"Finally this urgent manifesto on how we gaze upon trauma is available in translation. Cristina Rivera Garza's Grieving was an early major reckoning with violence in contemporary Mexico, but its relevance, like the causes of the crisis, extends far beyond the border. A brilliant work that traces a path toward healing for bodies exposed to the many violences of our world today." --Rubén Martínez, author of Desert America: A Journey through Our Most Divided Landscape "Cristina Rivera Garza is a writer of startling luminosity. In Grieving, she shows the light to be found in acts of collective mourning, and how art can be part of the process of grieving together, of understanding with new complexity the forces driving the devastating violence on the US-Mexican border and within Mexico. Sarah Booker's translation recreates the urgency of Rivera Garza's prose with exceptional vitality." --Idra Novey, author of Those Who Knew "Cristina Rivera Garza writes, about one of many ostentatious displays of murder in Mexico, that 'the very reason acts like these are carried out is so that we are rendered speechless.' But Rivera Garza forcefully resists such silencing, not with a wail or plaintive lament, but in a deliberate, careful, deeply empathetic act of literary grace and aplomb. Grieving is at once a gorgeous elegy, a clarion call to action, and a revindication of the human spirit. Rivera Garza's prose, and her political celebration of the written word, is liberatory." --John Washington, author of The Dispossessed: A Story of Asylum and the US-Mexican Border and Beyond "Rivera Garza's Grieving documents and shares a writer's struggle to face the horror enveloping her country, and the world, with every possible tool and weapon of both language and feeling. The result is a vital and burning work of social grieving; that is, of fighting back, of not giving up or giving in, of commitment and survival." --John Gibler, author ofI Couldn't Even Imagine That They Would Kill Us: An Oral History of the Attacks Against the Students of Ayotzinapa "In writing about Mexican violence, misogyny, natural disasters, pandemics, art and literature, resistance, about Mexican women, US Latinx, and about herself, Cristina Rivera Garza writes about the universal conditions of our world today. She does so with prose unmatched for its sharp intelligence, poetry, clarity, empathy, liveliness, passion. She is a genius, 'our' necessary voice." --Francisco Goldman, author of The Interior Circuit: A Mexico City Chronicle "A bold and brilliant return to the thorny questions of our ongoing state of violence. Should we remain speechless? Should we share our pain? What is to be learned in the journey into horror? When does sorrow become a political instrument of dissent? Mexico´s most impressive essayist and writer, Cristina Rivera Garza chooses not to speak alone or in the name of others but with all those who grieve with her." --Lina Meruane, author of Seeing Red "Laying bare the foundations of state violence and collective trauma while also imploring its readers to "imagine the impossible, the world we want to live in," Grieving asks, "Can writing keep us company--we, the broken ones still alive with rage and hope?" Arriving, as this translation does, amidst masks and distancing--but also in the throes of a great unmasking of horrors and complicities--I affirm, with Cristina Rivera Garza, that yes, sin duda, "I believe writing can. At the very least, writing should." Grieving: Dispatches from a Wounded Country is the perfect book to accompany us through these uncertain times." --Rosa Alcalá, author of MyOTHER TONGUE, "Finally this urgent manifesto on how we gaze upon trauma is available in translation.
