The Queen Of Swords by Jazmina Barrera, Christina MacSweeney
Jazmina Barrera digs through archives and fragments to sketch the life of Mexican writer Elena Garro, confronting gaps and contradictions that resist a tidy portrait. The book presents Garro as a restless artist—a writer associated with magical realism, a dancer and divination devotee, an activist and complicated partner and mother—while situating her life within Mexico City’s social and cultural history and reflecting on the limits of biography.
