ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A dark psychological thriller about the challenges of facing our own identity; a text that moves between different frontiers and reminds us that, in the end, only bones remain to tell our stories.

One dark and stormy night, two mysterious women invade an unnamed narrator's house, where they proceed to ruthlessly question their host's identity. While the women are strangely intimate―even inventing a secret language―they harass the narrator by repeatedly claiming that they know his greatest secret: that he is, in fact, a woman. As the increasingly frantic protagonist fails to defend his supposed masculinity, he eventually finds himself in a sanatorium.

In this newly revised edition, Cristina Rivera Garza again challenges certainty in an imaginative story that questions gender markers and experiments with language to explore our darkest fears.
