In our thirty-seventh issue, we feature a groundbreaking voice of contemporary Latin American literature: Argentine writer Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, winner of the 2024 Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize for her novel Las niñas del naranjel and the 2025 National Book Award for Translated Literature, alongside Robin Myers, for the same novel’s translation into English as We Are Green and Trembling. We also highlight the daring and inventive world of Argentina’s countercultural magazines of the eighties and nineties with a special feature on the legendary Cerdos & Peces, with writing by Enrique Symns and Vera Land. This issue also includes two finalists from our third annual essay contest, poetry by Idea Vilariño, interviews with Mempo Giardinelli, Emma Sepúlveda, and José María Micó, excerpts from new books in translation by Francisco Maciel, Jeannette L. Clariond, and Gabriel Payares, and an exclusive conversation between Will Morningstar and Samantha Schnee on their collaborative translation of Mariana Travacio’s All That Dies in April.

We spoke with the latest winner of the National Book Award for Translated Literature (alongside Robin Myers) and of the Premio Ciutat de Barcelona for Spanish-language literature in 2024, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, about her book Las niñas del naranjel (Penguin Random House, translated as We Are Green and Trembling).
This radical work with language, which follows a path already notable in her previous novel, adds new layers to contemporary Argentine literature.
We Are Green and Trembling is a queer baroque satire, a surreal picaresque rich with wildly imaginative language and searing critique of subjugation, colonialism, and tyranny of all kinds.
