Signs Preceding the End of the World is one of the most arresting novels to be published in Spanish in the last ten years. Yuri Herrera does not simply write about the border between Mexico & the United States & those who cross it. He explores the crossings & translations people make in their minds & language as they move from one country to another, especially when there`s no going back.

- one from her mother & one from the Mexican underworld.
