A woman's desperate flight from an Apache raid unfolds into a sweeping tale of the Mexico-US border wars. Now I Surrender is the epic, darkly funny and action-packed story of the legendary Apache warrior Geronimo and how the American West was 'won'. 'Álvaro Enrigue's one of the best we have, and he's not done pushing against conventions' NEW YORK TIMES 'An impassioned anti-imperialist lament, a gripping alt-western' TLS In the contested borderlands between Mexico and the United States, a Mexican woman flees into the desert after a devastating raid on her dead husband's ranch. Meanwhile, a lieutenant colonel of the fledgling Republic, sent in pursuit of cattle rustlers, will soon discover he's on the trail of a more dramatic abduction. Decades later, with political ambitions on the line, the American and Mexican militaries try to manoeuvre Geronimo, the most legendary of Apache warriors, into surrender. And in our own day, a family travels through the region in search of a truer version of the past. Now I Surrender is Álvaro Enrigue's most expansive and impassioned novel yet. Part epic, part alt-Western, it weaves past and present, myth and history, into a searing elegy for a way of life that was an incarnation of true liberty - that still sparks in us the thrill of almost unimaginable freedom. Translated by Natasha Wimmer 'Enrigue is an erudite, charismatic raconteur' THE ATLANTIC 'A moving and complex love letter to Mexico... a slice of bloody American history with a timely edge' LOS ANGELES TIMES
