1. Somebody Is Walking On Your Grave
Mariana Enriquez combines travelogue and memoir as she visits cemeteries around the world — from Buenos Aires’s Recoleta and the Paris catacombs to Graceland and Prague’s Old Jewish Cemetery — to explore their histories, architecture, folklore, and the people who tend and visit them. Prompted by the discovery of a disappeared friend’s mother in a common grave, she weaves personal reflection, reportage, interviews and cultural history to consider how societies remember the dead and what graveyards reveal about the living.
