A review by salemreadsbooks
The Iliac Crest by Cristina Rivera Garza

Based on my reading of the translator’s note, I think a lot of this book was unfortunately lost in translation. This is a story in which prose and language really matter. I think I would appreciate it more in its native tongue. However, the elements I was able to grasp through the language barrier were compelling. I’m also interested in reading Amparo Dávila’s work, and I’m glad this book could introduce me to it.
