Signs Preceding the End of the World

Signs Preceding the End of the World by Yuri Herrera is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that explores the crossings and translations people make in their minds and language as they move from one country to another, especially when there's no going back.

The story follows Makina, a young woman who knows only too well how to survive in a violent, macho world, as she searches for her brother while carrying a pair of secret messages - one from her mother and one from the Mexican underworld.

With a darkly mythological vision of the U.S.

as experienced by the 'not us', this novel is both harrowing and fierce, redeeming us all through its profoundly dignified and mind-boggling heroine, Makina.

Don't miss out on this epic and compacted narrative that will ring your bell, your being, and your soul.
