Recollections of Things to Come

by Elena Garro

The town of Ixtepec tells its own story during the Mexican Revolution—political upheaval, religious persecution, and social unrest narrated by the place itself. A landmark of magical realism and one of the great overlooked novels of twentieth-century Mexico.
