Original titleOtilia Rauda (Coleccion Narrativa)
Winner of Mexico's prestigious Xavier Villaurrutia prize in 1986, Otilia Rauda is here translated into English for the first time as Otilia's Body. Widely considered Sergio Galindo's best work, the novel dramatizes a sexually liberated woman's obsession with an outlaw lover, played against the backdrop of Mexican history from 1910 to 1940. A fine example of intimist fiction, Otilia's Body is noteworthy for its penetratingly described characters who transcend time and place to become universally recognizable. Winner of both the Mariano Azuela Prize and the Jose Fuentes Mares Prize, Sergio Galindo was the author of thirteen novels and many shorter works.
