Trash

A remarkable novel about value and power

Features lived experiences of trans and LGBTQ+ community members

Author and translator are both located in Texas, with active connections to literary communities

Persistent attention to the overlooked and undervalued lives of women in the difficult environs of violence and hyper-capitalism in Mexico

From the translator, JD Pluecker: "It is urgent to have stories about the border written by people who intimately know and have lived in the borderlands, particularly writers from the Mexican side of the border."
