One of Publishers Weekly’s 10 Most Anticipated Books of the Year • A Kirkus Reviews Most Anticipated Book
In this new collection of genre-defying stories by Cristina Rivera Garza, a woman visits what she thinks could be her old lover's hometown after being abandoned by her, years earlier. Two herons hitchhike across Mexico. A group of workers build a new home, only to see it destroyed by the state.
With little baggage and much bravado, the characters in Terrestrial hitchhike, migrate, take trains, wander or, at times, fly, to survive the mandates of patriarchy and capitalism. On dusty roads or by a lake turned suddenly ominous, they remain in close contact with the earth's surface, sensing its wild promise and capacity for violence, its degradation and enduring beauty.
As she did in her Pulitzer Prize winning memoir Liliana’s Invincible Summer, Rivera Garza forges new forms, experimenting with structure and time as she tails the intrepid travelers with shimmering and honest prose. Combining journalism, novelistic writing, and themes of female freedom, gore capitalism, and class struggle, Terrestrial is a meditation on travel and distance, and our ties to the earth we tread on.

Recensioni della critica
Praise for Terrestrial
“[Rivera Garza] revels in the unexpected, eschewing the straightforward at all times, but never in a showy way. These stories, focused on traveling, are absolutely beautiful, written with Rivera Garza’s sparkling and enchanting prose. In other words: She’s done it again. Incandescent.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Piercing . . . visceral . . .These impressionistic histories smolder and glow.”—Publishers Weekly
“Rivera Garza’s mastery unfolds in gorgeous prose and surprising perspectives . . . [She] proves to be a generous and provocative guide through desire, rage, friendship, and hope. Translator MacSweeney has made Rivera Garza's clever and challenging content and syntax accessible and enjoyable. Readers who love imaginative short stories and Rivera Garza fans will rejoice.”—Booklist, starred review
“Cristina Rivera Garza is a pro at the genre-bending game.”—Book Riot
“These characters challenge themes of female freedom through capitalism and class struggle while tethering them with their inherent connection to earth on their Terrestrial hitchhiking journey.”—Electric Literature
Praise for Cristina Rivera Garza
“Cristina Rivera Garza’s writing rewires your brain, summoning the ghosts of vivid emotions you’d forgotten you could even feel.” —Esquire
“Rivera Garza accomplishes prodigious things in all her books.” —Liliana Colanzi, author of You Glow in the Dark
“If the continuation of violence depends on silence and impunity, Rivera Garza believes that writing can throw a wrench in that machine. . . . Rather than capitulate, Rivera Garza’s work demands that we see this violence for what it is.” —The Nation
“Rivera Garza applies a lingual scalpel to the narrative of systemic violence.” —Brooklyn Rail
“An oracle of the in-between, and one of North America’s greatest living writers." Francisco Cantú, author of The Line Becomes a River
"Rivera Garza’s prose, and her political celebration of the written word, are liberatory.” —John Washington, author of The Case for Open Borders
