Praise for Medea Sang Me a Corrido "Only a novel this inventive and insane could help me understand the complexities of modern Mexico and capture every horror of womanhood. Propulsive and poetic. As sick as it is sexy and as feral as it is tender. I couldn't put it down." --Melissa Lozada-Oliva, author of Candelaria "One of the most promising voices in recent Mexican literature." --Latin American Literature Today Praise for Reservoir Bitches "[De la Cerda's] tactics succeed in creating the enchanting feeling that one is sitting across from each narrator, being told their stories as a close confidante. The author's demand that we bear witness to the senseless murders, in all their gruesomeness, of these bright young women is sobering and commendable." --Kirkus Reviews "De la Cerda offers a refreshingly unapologetic voice for women who refuse to be placated.


This is worth a look." --Publishers Weekly "With sharp social criticism and sardonic humor, de la Cerda balances brutality with compelling portrayals of characters whom readers may otherwise be tempted to condemn. A work of narrative art and a powerful testament to diverse experiences and stories that deserve to be heard." --Necessary Fiction "Reservoir Bitches offers a foundation on which working-class, provincial, and otherwise marginalized writers in Mexico and elsewhere can add the detail necessary to transform tales into nuanced stories that reflect the richness of the world of their protagonists." --Los Angeles Review of Books "De la Cerda's writing has flair, and fangs." --Full Stop.
