Reviews
"Cristina Rivera Garza, one of Mexico's most important contemporary authors, is progressively gaining renown in the U.S. (where she's lived since 1989) and has won a 2020 MacArthur Fellowship and a 2020 National Book Critics Circle finalist nod in Criticism. Indie press Dorothy's release of New and Selected Stories , which gathers 30-plus years of intriguing work, ensures English-speaking readers enhanced access to Rivera Garza." -- Shelf Awareness "The stories in this collection are as varied as Rivera Garza's remarkable career, and this book is an excellent introduction to a unique writer who deserves to be recognized not just in Mexico, but all over the world." -- Kirkus , starred review "This hypnotic, riveting collection of new and previously published stories from MacArthur Fellow Rivera Garza ( Grieving: Dispatches from a Wounded Country , essays) takes on love, migration, and violence . . .These unsettling yet deeply approachable stories ought to earn Rivera Garza the wider attention she deserves." Publishers Weekly , starred review, "The primary tension in Rivera Garza's fiction--between the unruly intensities of sexual desire and the political disciplining of the body--is at its most concentrated in the latest translation of her work, New and Selected Stories (Dorothy) . . .The conceptual cunning of Rivera Garza's stories cannot account for the passion that warms them."--Merve Emre, The New Yorker "The stories in this collection are as varied as Rivera Garza's remarkable career, and this book is an excellent introduction to a unique writer who deserves to be recognized not just in Mexico, but all over the world." -- Kirkus , starred review "Once you get used to the New and Selected Stories' eerie strangeness, it's hard to pick a favorite, or convince yourself to set the book down." --Lily Meyer, NPR.com "English-language readers finally have the chance to enter into the beguiling, menacing, and strangely poignant world that one of Mexico's best writers creates through her short stories. . . . The consistently high quality of all the translations makes apparent not only the changes in Rivera Garza's themes and style but also the way that the stories share an urgent search for meaning and connection." --Ryan Long, World Literature Today "Whenever I read Joy Williams, I find myself sinking into this strange, boggy, liminal world, where everything feels sharp and barbed and just so slightly off-kilter. It's a bit how I imagine being hypnotized would feel, and I had a similar sensation reading the new collection from Cristina Rivera Garza (put out by Dorothy Project, arguably one of the coolest publishers out there). . . If you like this collection, check out Rivera Garza's novel, The Taiga Syndrome, also out from Dorothy. So odd; so good." --Kelsey Ford, Powell's.com "This hypnotic, riveting collection of new and previously published stories from MacArthur Fellow Rivera Garza takes on love, migration, and violence. . . . These unsettling yet deeply approachable stories ought to earn Rivera Garza the wider attention she deserves." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "More writing from Cristina Rivera Garza is always a great gift. In this collection, New and Selected Stories , readers are able to track Rivera Garza's writing over time, and realize that she has since the beginning been working in a lane entirely her own. Her concerns remain the same--she writes of gender, borders, immigration, loneliness, and identity in the most crystalline prose, translated here by the author herself, Sarah Booker, and others. It . . . will serve as the perfect introduction to her work for new readers, and an equally satisfying addition to her catalogue for existing fans. I devoured this book and can hardly wait to read more." --Meghana Kandlur, Seminary Co-op Bookstore "Cristina Rivera Garza's New and Selected Stories offers English-language readers access to more than 30 years of intriguing writing by one of Mexico's greatest contemporary authors." --Terry Hong, Shelf Awareness, "The stories in this collection are as varied as Rivera Garza's remarkable career, and this book is an excellent introduction to a unique writer who deserves to be recognized not just in Mexico, but all over the world." -- Kirkus , starred review
Synopsis
A story collection drawn from across her career brings into English for the first time the extraordinary stylistic and thematic range of the Mexican writer and MacArthur "genius" Cristina Rivera Garza. "One of Mexico's greatest living writers," wrote Jonathan Lethem in 2018 about Cristina Rivera Garza, "we are just barely beginning to catch up to what she has to offer." In the years since, Rivera Garza's work has received widespread recognition: She was awarded a MacArthur Genius Grant for fiction that "interrogates culturally constructed notions of language, memory, and gender from a transnational perspective," and was a finalist for the 2020 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism. Yet we have still only started to discover the full range of a writer who is at once an incisive voice on migration, borders, and violence against women, as well as a high stylist in the manner of Lispector or Duras. New and Selected Stories now brings together in English translation stories from across Rivera Garza's career, drawing from three collections spanning over 30 years and including new writing not yet published in Spanish. It is a unique and remarkable body of work, and a window into the ever-evolving stylistic and thematic development of one of the boldest, most original and affecting writers in the world today.

Excellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience! I would highly recommend this seller!

"Moneyball" is an old/new movie/DVD that I haven't seen. "Retrostar Music" as seller had some of Mr. Pitts movies & this was labelled "New", I decided to purchase it. The seller sent all I ordered with FREE shipping &discounted the price of all as well. It took less than a week - six days - for my complete order to arrive & they were all carefully packaged & arrived in two boxes. If I ever have a question regarding what else is in the seller's inventory, I always receive a very prompt reply.
