👀 Pulitzer Prize–winning author Cristina Rivera Garza's AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF COTTON, trans. by Christina MacSweeney, is out February 3, 2026.⁠
⁠
In 1934, a young José Revueltas traveled to Tamaulipas to support the cotton workers’ strike in Estación Camarón, which became the basis of his landmark novel HUMAN MOURNING. In her own groundbreaking novel, Cristina Rivera Garza recounts her grandparents’ journey from mining towns to those same cotton fields as it intersects with Revueltas’s life in a vivid and evocative history of cotton cultivation along the Mexico-US border.⁠
⁠
Deeply personal and politically acute, Rivera Garza crafts a new kind of border novel that tells how a brittle land radically altered her grandparents’ lives and the territories they helped develop. An intimate fictionalization, AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF COTTON reveals a rich social history of agricultural colonization, labor activism, environmental degradation, and cross-border migration.⁠
