Описание:
Surreal and Gothic, The Iliac Crest is a masterful excavation of forgotten Mexican women writers, illustrating the myriad ways that gendered language can wield destructive power.
On a dark and stormy night, two mysterious women invade an unnamed narrator's house, where they proceed to ruthlessly question their host's identity. The women are strangely intimate―even inventing together an incomprehensible, fluid language―and harass the narrator by repeatedly claiming that they know his greatest secret: that he is, in fact, a woman. As the increasingly frantic protagonist fails to defend his supposed masculinity, he eventually finds himself in a sanatorium.
Published for the first time in English, this Gothic tale is "utterly weird yet deeply resonant in its portrayal of gendered violence" (The Millions). Through layered and haunting prose, Cristina Rivera Garza unravels the cultural and political histories of Mexico, probing at the misogyny that fuels the disappearance of women in literature and in real life.
Astounding and thought-provoking. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"An intelligent, beautiful story about bodies disguised as a story about language disguised as a story about night terrors. Cristina Rivera Garza does not respect what is expected of a writer, of a novel, of language. She is an agitator." --Yuri Herrera, author of Kingdom Cons
Published for the first time in English, this Gothic tale destabilizes male-female binaries and subverts literary tropes.

Описание: Right after graduating from college, I was ready for a new start to my life, and I figured the best way for me to celebrate was to do something I was uncomfortableIn May 2018, I headed into the wilderness for the first time ever. I had never spent a night in the backcountry, and suddenly I was out in the wild on my own. I spent the next two months hiking more than 1,100 miles on the Appalachian Trail from Pennsylvania to Maine, which was followed up by a section hike on the Pacific Crest Trail in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon and California. Have you been snowed on in July? Or fell into a rattlesnake pit? Or waded across a waist-deep river? These were just a few experiences I had on the Appalachian and Pacific Crest Trails. Despite my initial follies, I discovered the trail was my second home. In this book, I disclose plenty of stories that I experienced on the trail along with questions that many hikers have, including: - Gear I brought on the trail- A state-by-state and town-by-town look at the trail- A dictionary of thru hiker terminology- Advice I wish I knew before hiking the trailI was inspired to write this book after I remembered learning about hiking for the first time. I didn't know what to expect or what I needed to be successful, but I also never could have imagined the lessons I learned along the way or the memories I made. The goal for this book is to show how realistic and enjoyable hiking the AT or PCT actually is. No, you don't need to be a world-renowned hiker or spend thousands of dollars on gear All you really need is a set of functioning legs and a can-do attitude

Описание: Feverishly searching for adventure and independence, Crystal left the comforts of her home and family to backpack over four-hundred miles on the Pacific Crest Trail across Oregon. She was a day hiker at best, but was determined to face the challenges that would undoubtedly come over the next thirty days. On July 1st 2015, she set out to make her dream come true; to open the cage and fly away. Oregon Uncaged is an honest and detailed memoir of one woman's solo hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. The story offers a true depiction of her the mental and physical afflictions she faced, her triumphs, and detailed trail descriptions of the Oregon section. "The irony was that I didn't come out here to heal. I came out here to suffer. To deprive myself of first world entitlements. I came out here to care for myself. To maybe get lost, and find my own way. I wanted to feel trampled on and broken down. I wanted to know the freedom of giving in; to surrender". Since coming home from her hike, Crystal has been building an organization called "Roots to Ridges". It is dedicated to getting women in the wilderness, and preparing them for adventure. Her mission is to educate and empower women through back-country experiences. Proceeds from the sale of this book will help fund outdoor education for women, through Roots to Ridges.

Six months later, Mary would become the youngest person ever to successfully walk the entire trail.The trio weathered the heat of the Mojave, the jagged peaks of the Sierra, the rain of Oregon, and the final cold stretch through the Northern Cascades.

Filled with tidbits of wisdom, practical advice, and humor, this story will both entertain and inspire readers to dream about and plan their own epic journey.

Описание:
Teetering awkwardly on the brink of insanity, unable to handle life in snowy, cold, ultra-conservative North Idaho, Carl and Erin sold their house and set out in search of a new place to call home. Suddenly finding themselves completely free of responsibilities, jobless, and with a little spare cash in the bank, it didn't take long before their serious search for a new life took some unexpected twists and turns.
"What do you think we should do when we return to the States?" Erin asked Carl, as they sat outside a tiny cafe sipping coffee. It was a question that had been plaguing her for weeks as they budget travelled across South East Asia in an attempt to avoid winter (and reality).
"I've been thinking about it, and I think we should thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail." Was Carl's totally unexpected reply.
Spend months on end traipsing through the wilderness, petting bunnies and chasing rainbows, as they hiked 2,660 miles from Mexico to Canada? How could Erin possibly say no? Life Rule #1: Never, ever, turn down an adventure.
Friends wagered they wouldn't last a week, but before they knew it, days turned into months as they made their way across America at three miles an hour. As Carl and Erin morphed into Bearclaw and Hummingbird, they found that being hikertrash suited them.
Though they will both admit the trail was life altering, there were no great epiphanies, no magic answers to all of life's burning questions, no "ah-ha " moments when suddenly life made sense. This is not a tale of personal growth.
Through blisters and shin splints, jaw-dropping landscapes and craptastically unspectacular forests, searing heat and pouring rain, complete hilarity and utter exhaustion, this is the story of what day-to-day life is really like on one of America's greatest trails.
As told through Hummingbird's journal entries, this is the story of life on the trail - the people you meet, the things you see, and how, mile by mile, you eventually become Hikertrash.
Includes:
6 Overview Maps to Follow our Journey
19 Black & White Photos of Sights Along the Trail

What Is Hikertrash?
Hikertrash: a long distance hiker, shabby and homeless in appearance, rarely bathed and rank in odor, more at home outdoors than in society, with a deep reverence and respect for all things wild.
