Reservoir Bitches: Stories

"It’s an undeniably rich time in Mexican literature, and we’re lucky that so much great work is being translated into English for American readers. Many will be familiar with Valeria Luiselli and Yuri Herrera, but authors like Fernanda Melchor and Dahlia de la Cerda shine a light on femicide and violence against women south of the U.S. border. De la Cerda’s debut links together 13 first-person stories about women connected to a cartel boss’s daughter who aspires to be a “superhot housewife” while ordering killings. Prepare to be disturbed."
