โฆ Synopsis
"Carmen Boullosa is, in my opinion, a true master."--Alvaro Mutis
Part bildungsroman, part ghost story, part revenge novel, Before tells the story of a woman who returns to the landscape of her childhood to overcome the fear that held her captive as a girl. This powerful exploration of the path to womanhood and lost innocence won Mexico's two most prestigious literary prizes.
Carmen Boullosa , one of Mexico's leading writers, has published nearly twenty novels. Her most recent novel, Texas: The Great Theft , won the 2014 Typographical Era Translation Award and was shortlisted for the 2015 PEN Translation Award.
