A contemporary classic from award-winning author Carmen Boullosa, in the
tradition of Juan Rulfo, Jorge Luis Borges and César Aira, now available in a
special Tenth Anniversary Edition.
Loosely based on the little-known 1859 Mexican invasion of the United States,
Texas: The Great Theft is a richly imagined evocation of the volatile Tex-Mex
borderland. Boullosa views border history through a new lens decentering US
narratives, and her sympathetic portrayal of each of her wildly diverse
characters—Mexican ranchers and Texas Rangers, Comanches and cowboys, German
socialists and runaway slaves, Southern belles and dancehall girls—makes her
storytelling tremendously powerful and absorbing.
Featuring a new introduction by Merve Emre, the Tenth Anniversary Edition of
Texas sheds important historical light on current battles over the
Mexican–American frontier while telling a gripping story with Boullosa's
singular prose and formal innovation.
