In
They Will
Dream in the Garden,
Otherwise Award-winning author, Gabriela Damián
Miravete elaborates the disconcerting experience of living as a woman
in Mexico—a
territory characterized by its great contrasts, from violence and
activism to affectionate and communal resistance: flowers that arise
from the earth to expand the cosmic consciousness of those who take
it, nuns who create artifacts so that their native languages do not
perish, a memorial for the victims of femicide that the State
controls, but whose old guardian wants to turn into a laboratory to
return their lost future…
They
Will Dream in the Garden
shows the journey that its author has undertaken towards a more
conscious writing that, through wonder and beauty, trusts in the
possibilities that literature offers to unite, question, and
transform our being in the world.
