Las explicaciones sobran, pues como única respuesta Cristina Rivera Garza, como la Agripina de Juan Rulfo en "Luvina", se alza de hombros para dejar que miremos por nosotros mismos el mundo en el que hemos desembarcado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"The stories in The Farthest Frontier, while evoking an atmosphere that is fantastical, dreamlike and surreal, not because they lose sight of reality but because they strip it down to the bone without any trappings." -Beatriz Ferrús Antón.

Although the stories in this volume may recall familiar genres and topics (an ethnographic essay, a detective story, science fiction, erotic poetry), they challenge the conventions imposed on each one. Like a mycelium, they build a network of meanings that extend across the collection, informing each other and dissolving boundaries to expand the universe of literature.

Explanations aren't needed; Cristina Rivera Garza, like Agripina in Juan Rulfo's "Luvina," shrugs her shoulders and asks us to make up our own minds about the world in which we find ourselves.
