Yuri Herrera "Signs Preceding the End of the World" (128 pgs).  This book is a simple story of a young woman crossing the border  between Mexico and the US but on other levels it gives a universal view of transition and change.  "Short,  suspenseful….outlandish and heartbreaking".  The New York Times.  "This book amazes with the precise and persuasive beauty of its words." El Pais.  Winner of the Best Translated Book Award 2016.
