In our thirty-ninth issue, we feature award-winning Uruguayan author Fernanda Trías, whose novels and short stories have earned her recognition as an essential voice of contemporary Latin American literature, in a cover dossier including an exclusive interview and an excerpt from Trías’s Pink Slime in translation by Heather Cleary. We also look back in time and outside the limits of Latin America with a dossier dedicated to the new volume by Braulio Fernández Biggs, Robert Southwell: Jesuita, poeta y mártir, the first book ever written in Spanish on the life and legacy of Robert Southwell, the sixteenth-century priest and poet whose impact on English literature can still be felt to this day. This issue also features a special section on twentieth-century poetry from the Southern Cone with bilingual poems by Alfonsina Storni, Delmira Agustini, and Julio Herrera y Reissig, as well as reflections from Joaquín Castillo, Carlos Granés, and Pedro Henríquez Ureña, exclusive interviews, previews of new books in translation by Horacio Quiroga, Miriam Reyes, and Xitlalitl Rodríguez Mendoza, and fiction by Ariana Harwicz, Rafael Gumucio, and María Teresa Andruetto.
Featured Author:
Fernanda Trías
The two-time winner of the Feria Internacional del Libro de Guadalajara’s Premio Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, among other prizes, invites us to peek into these everyday realities through a lens of estrangement—one with which we recognize “the mystery of the other, which is always changing.”

Miembro fantasma is inhabited by characters immersed in solitude and affected by past traumas; they are the residents of an uncertain world.

An evocative elegy for a safe, clean world, Pink Slime is buoyed by humor and its narrator’s resiliency. This vivid and unforgettable translated novel explores the place where love, responsibility, and self-preservation converge.
