THE MUSEUM OF MARY guides the reader through a kaleidoscopic gallery of artworks that each depict a shifting portrait of Mary—the name of the Madonna, the Blessed Virgin, the grieving mother of Christ, the doomed monarch, the author of Frankenstein, the television star, the Grammy-winning singer, and the poet herself. These intimate and alluring poems echo across time to give voices to women who were, who are, foreclosed and silenced. One Mary is told she has no power over her body and what will happen to it. One Mary’s claim leads to her imprisonment and beheading. One Mary is arrested for dressing like a man. One Mary is ignored in her lifetime and forgotten ever since. One Mary looks deeply, imaginatively into artworks and writes down what she sees, what she has lived.

A resounding feat of associative leaps, THE MUSEUM OF MARY is an innovative way of encountering the world and a daringly honest way of confronting the self.

This is Ada, back in her village after studying abroad in London, once again driving around with Vicenç Jr. and coming home giddy late in the summer night. These are Ada’s fingers in the morning, charging across the computer keys, capturing and inventing stories, like the story of Vicenç Sr., the farmer who lost two fingers in a combine and loves to dance, and the story of Josefa Puig who was attacked by a cow, the story of the cow obsessed with seeing the stone that gleams in the darkness inside every creature, the story of Ada’s earrings after Vicenç Jr. angrily tossed them into the Sau Reservoir where they were swallowed by an enormous catfish, the story of the old catfish with gold in its belly who was eventually hauled out of the lake by some eager then regretful boys, and the story of the dams that could not hold in the end and the water that rushed through the veins, that mercilessly and ecstatically flooded the heart.

Alternating between the story of Ada and Ada’s stories, DAMS is a brilliant and heady ode to life in community, impossible and enduring love, and the wellspring of the imagination that fills everything it touches with magic.

Gunn Haven, professor of astrophysics, has taken a leave from the institute where she teaches and moved to a rural area. She’s here for the clear night sky and for solitude as she tracks gamma-ray bursts and researches the origins of the universe. But while Gunn studies celestial bodies, she is also contending with earthly bodies. There are her nearest neighbors: Brit, who knows everyone’s business, and Jenny, Brit’s restless teenage daughter. There is her young protégé; Gunn has sent him away to find his own path, yet longs to have him close. And there is the menacing Gable Woman, who, after catching Gunn wandering onto private property, is intent on putting her in her place. Reaching from the everyday to the infinite, from sensory details to contemplations of the cosmos, RANGE is a gripping investigation of the many kinds of distance we cross through space and time.

In an alternate Caracas, the oil fields have dried up, and executives have implemented a new system for oil production: collecting corpses and processing them into necrofuel.

In four interlocking sections that unfold in reverse chronology, BLOAT follows the lives of women who live under this exploitative regime. Mercedita grieves the death of her father and resents the intrusion of investigators into her home. Merced, a s*x worker living with an oil executive, struggles to retain her agency amid an increasingly restricted life. After Mamé goes missing, a watchman tries to find her while he and his nephew participate in the paramilitary that enabled her disappearance. And Mercy battles an illness while working at a restaurant frequented by the powerful.

Raquel Abend’s first book translated into English explores totalitarianism in a country with two major exports: oil and pageant queens. In visceral prose that foregrounds the bleakness of its dystopia, BLOAT makes tangible the grief, ecological devastation, and violence faced by women in a city where bodies are primarily a means to an economic end. And yet, these women resist their dehumanization, forging community and owning their desires despite the darkness of their world.
