{"product_id":"9781646053537","title":"Texas : The Great Theft: 10th Anniversary edition by Merve Emre","description":"A contemporary classic from award-winning author Carmen Boullosa, in the tradition of Juan Rulfo, Jorge Luis Borges and C?sar Aira, now available in a special Tenth Anniversary Edition.   Loosely based on the little-known 1859 Mexican invasion of the United States, Texas: The Great Theft is a richly imagined evocation of the volatile Tex-Mex borderland. Boullosa views border history through a new lens decentering US narratives, and her sympathetic portrayal of each of her wildly diverse characters-Mexican ranchers and Texas Rangers, Comanches and cowboys, German socialists and runaway slaves, Southern belles and dancehall girls-makes her storytelling tremendously powerful and absorbing.   Featuring a new introduction by Merve Emre, the Tenth Anniversary Edition of Texas sheds important historical light on current battles over the Mexican-American frontier while telling a gripping story with Boullosa's singular prose and formal innovation.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301684719989,"sku":"9781646053537","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781646053537.jpg?v=1762791610","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781646053537","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
