Texas

- The Great Theft: 10th Anniversary Edition

Texasav Carmen Boullosa
Om Texas

A contemporary classic from award-winning author Carmen Boullosa, in the tradition of Juan Rulfo, Jorge Louis Borge and Cesair Aira, now available in a special 10th 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 a prominent writer, 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.
