Originally published as La Cresta de Ilión in 2002 by Tusquets Editores 

This excavation of forgotten Mexican women writers illustrates how gendered language wields destructive power.

On a dark & stormy night, two mysterious women invade an unnamed narrator’s house, where they proceed to ruthlessly question their host’s gender & identity. The increasingly frantic protagonist fails to defend his supposed masculinity and eventually finds himself in a sanatorium. A Gothic tale of destabilized male-female binaries and subverted literary tropes, this is the book's first English publication.
