- Title
Grieving: Dispatches from a Wounded Country.
- Authors
Jimenez, Michael
- Abstract
As in the Meruane chapter, Garza's work continually circles back to Mexico, yet many essays have a global scope. Finally, the best way to describe this book is to borrow a line that Garza reserves for Judith Butler: Garza "has written one of the most empathetic and intelligent books about pain and justice in the contemporary world" (138). For example, one essay, "Writing in Migration: A Desedimentation with Chilean writer Lina Meruane", features a juxtaposition of Meruane's experience with Garza's (139-46).
