A fiercely poetic, tenderly observed portrait of young women’s travels on the fringes of Mexico and the United States, by the Pulitzer-Prize winning author of Liliana’s Invincible Summer

One of Publishers Weekly’s 10 Most Anticipated Books of the Year • A Kirkus Reviews Most Anticipated Book


In this new collection of genre-defying stories by Cristina Rivera Garza, a woman visits what she thinks could be her old lover's hometown after being abandoned by her, years earlier. Two herons hitchhike across Mexico. A group of workers build a new home, only to see it destroyed by the state.

With little baggage and much bravado, the characters in Terrestrial hitchhike, migrate, take trains, wander or, at times, fly, to survive the mandates of patriarchy and capitalism. On dusty roads or by a lake turned suddenly ominous, they remain in close contact with the earth's surface, sensing its wild promise and capacity for violence, its degradation and enduring beauty.

As she did in her Pulitzer Prize winning memoir Liliana’s Invincible Summer, Rivera Garza forges new forms, experimenting with structure and time as she tails the intrepid travelers with shimmering and honest prose. Combining journalism, novelistic writing, and themes of female freedom, gore capitalism, and class struggle, Terrestrial is a meditation on travel and distance, and our ties to the earth we tread on.

Reseñas de la crítica

Praise for Terrestrial

“[Rivera Garza] revels in the unexpected, eschewing the straightforward at all times, but never in a showy way. These stories, focused on traveling, are absolutely beautiful, written with Rivera Garza’s sparkling and enchanting prose. In other words: She’s done it again. Incandescent.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Piercing . . . visceral . . .These impressionistic histories smolder and glow.”—Publishers Weekly

“Rivera Garza’s mastery unfolds in gorgeous prose and surprising perspectives . . . [She] proves to be a generous and provocative guide through desire, rage, friendship, and hope. Translator MacSweeney has made Rivera Garza's clever and challenging content and syntax accessible and enjoyable. Readers who love imaginative short stories and Rivera Garza fans will rejoice.”—Booklist, starred review

“Cristina Rivera Garza is a pro at the genre-bending game.”—Book Riot

“These characters challenge themes of female freedom through capitalism and class struggle while tethering them with their inherent connection to earth on their Terrestrial hitchhiking journey.”—Electric Literature
