Four Must-Reads from Cristina Rivera Garza, Houston's Newest MacArthur Genius
El mal de la taiga)
Rivera Garzaâs most radical work of experimental fiction weaves together a missing-persons investigation and folklore like
Hansel and Gretel and
Little Red Riding Hood, separating the world of fiction and non-fiction with the most delicate of lines in a shockingly seamless way. Even as she mixes poetry into her prose, Rivera Garza never reveals a clear geographical setting of her tale, making it easy to feel lost in an adventure that is equal parts eerie, mystical, and insightful. On top of a compelling story, the novel also takes you on a multi-sensory journey, complete with a suggested soundtrack to listen to while reading (hint: look in the last chapter), and Carlos Maiquesâs breathtaking illustrations from the original Spanish version. The combination is sure to send your imagination soaring as you look at an old story in a completely new, revolutionary way.Â
