A contemporary classic from award-winning author Carmen Boullosa, in the tradition of Juan Rulfo, Jorge Luis Borges and Céeacute;sar Aira, now available in a special Tenth Anniversary Edition.
Loosely based on the little-known 1859 Mexican invasion of the United States, Texas: The Great Theft is a richly imagined evocation of the volatile Tex-Mex borderland. Boullosa views border history through a new lens decentering US narratives, and her sympathetic portrayal of each of her wildly diverse characters-Mexican ranchers and Texas Rangers, Comanches and cowboys, German socialists and runaway slaves, Southern belles and dancehall girls—makes her storytelling tremendously powerful and absorbing.
Featuring a new introduction by Merve Emre, the Tenth Anniversary Edition of Texas sheds important historical light on current battles over the Mexican-American frontier while telling a gripping story with Boullosa's singular prose and formal innovation.
