The Iliac Crest (La Cresta de Ilión)
Cristina Rivera Garza, Sarah Booker (translation), Elena Poniatowska (afterword)Originally published as La Cresta de Ilión in 2002 by Tusquets Editores
This excavation of forgotten Mexican women writers illustrates how gendered language wields destructive power.
On a dark & stormy night, two mysterious women invade an unnamed narrator’s house, where they proceed to ruthlessly question their host’s gender & identity. The increasingly frantic protagonist fails to defend his supposed masculinity and eventually finds himself in a sanatorium. A Gothic tale of destabilized male-female binaries and subverted literary tropes, this is the book's first English publication.°°°
