A Dreamscape With A Powerful Undertow . . . [a] Harrowing And Labyrinthine Masterpiece.â?â??Katie Kitamura, The New York Times (Editorsâ?? Choice)A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR (SO FAR): The New York Times, Esquire, Marie ClaireA City Is Always A Cemetery.A Professor Named Cristina Rivera Garza Stumbles Upon The Corpse Of A Mutilated Man In A Dark Alley And Reports It To The Police. When Shown A Crime Scene Photo, She Finds A Stark Warning Written In Tiny Print With Coral Nail Polish On The Brick Wall Beside The Body: â??Beware Of Me, My Love / Beware Of The Silent Woman In The Desert.â?The Professor Becomes The First Informant On The Case, Which Is Led By A Detective Newly Obsessed With Poetry And Trailed By A Long List Of Failures.
