Reservoir Bitches

English

By (author): Dahlia de la Cerda

Translated by: Heather Cleary, Julia Sanches

A debut linked story collection of gritty, streetwise, and wickedly funny fiction from Mexico.

Lifes a bitch. Thats why you gotta rattle her cage, even if shes foaming at the mouth.

In the linked stories of Reservoir Bitches, thirteen Mexican women prod the bitch that is Life as they fight, sew, skirt, cheat, cry, and lie their way through their tangled circumstances. From the all-powerful daughter of a cartel boss to the victim of transfemicide, from a houseful of spinster seamstresses to a socialite who supports her politician husband by faking Indigenous roots, these women spit on their own reduction and invent new ways to survive, telling their stories in bold, unapologetic voices. At once social critique and black comedy, Reservoir Bitches is a raucous debut from one of Mexicos most thrilling new writers.
