  1. Three novels

    Herrera, Yuri, 1970-
    Special omnibus edition - Sheffield ; New York : And Other Stories, 2021

    The Mexico we hear of in the news - the drug cartels, migration and senseless violence - is rich soil for Herrera's moving stories of people who live in this reality but also live in the timeless realm of myth, epic and fairy tale, such as the singer Lobo in Kingdom Cons who loves the drug lord's own daughter, Makina who crosses borders to find her brother in Signs Preceding the End of the World, and the Redeemer, a hard-boiled hero looking to broker peace between feuding families during a pandemic in The Transmigration of Bodies. These three novels get to the heart of the matter in a truly original way. They are storytelling that is at once timely and timeless.

  2. Ten planets : stories

    Herrera, Yuri, 1970-
    Minneapolis, Minnesota : Graywolf Press, [2023]

    Herrera, Yuri, 1970-
    London ; New York : And Other Stories Publishing, 2015

    "Yuri Herrera does not simply write about the border between Mexico and the United States and those who cross it. He explores the crossings and translations people make in their minds and language as they move from one country to another, especially when there's no going back. Traversing this lonely territory is Makina, a young woman who knows only too well how to survive in a violent, macho world. Leaving behind her life in Mexico to search for her brother, she is smuggled into the US carrying a pair of secret messages -- one from her mother and one from the Mexican underworld"--Provided by publisherSigns Preceding the End of the World is one of the most arresting novels to be published in Spanish in the last ten years.
