About the Event

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Liliana’s Invincible Summer, Cristina Rivera Garza’s new novel is a dreamlike, genre-defying novel about a professor that flips the traditional crime narrative of gendered violence on its head. Death Takes Me is an unforgettable book – and this will be an unforgettable session with one of Mexico’s most esteemed authors.
