Committee citation: “[This] study of Elena Garro, a maligned pioneer of magical realism, defies convention and embraces contradiction. This is a book of reversals and research, an unwaveringly brilliant portrait of a complex and undone life, captured in art and destruction. . .faith and persecution”

The Queen of Swords is a portrait of the influential Mexican writer Elena Garro (1916–1988), a founder of “magical realism,” and an activist on behalf of indigenous Mexicans.
