Liliana's Invincible Summer: A Sister's Search for Justice
by Cristina Rivera Garza
🏆 Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Autobiography
In this powerful memoir, the Mexican author investigates the violent death of—and memorialises the life of—her sister Liliana, who was killed in 1990 by an ex-boyfriend. The Pulitzer Prize jury described it as a “genre-bending” account “that mixes memoir, feminist investigative journalism and poetic biography stitched together with a determination born of loss.”
