She has visited them frequently, a goth flaneur taking notes on her aesthetic obsession as she walks among the headstones, “where dying seems much more interesting than being alive.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut when the body of a friend’s mother who was disappeared during Argentina’s military dictatorship was found in a common grave, Enriquez began to examine more deeply the complex meanings of cemeteries and where our bodies come to rest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this rich book of essays—“excursions through death,” she calls them—Enriquez travels through North and South America, Europe and Australia, visiting Paris’s catacombs, Prague’s Old Jewish Cemetery, New Orleans’s aboveground mausoleums, Buenos Aires’s opulent Recoleta, and more. Enriquez investigates each cemetery’s history and architecture, its saints and ghosts, its caretakers and visitors, and, of course, its dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeaving personal stories with reportage, interviews, myths, hauntology, and more, \u003ci\u003eSomebody Is Walking on Your Grave\u003c\/i\u003e is memoir channeled through Enriquez’s passion for cemeteries, revealing as much about her own life and unique sensibility as the graveyards and tombstones she tours. Fascinating, spooky, and unlike anything else, Enriquez’s first work of nonfiction, translated by the award-winning Megan McDowell, is as original and memorable as the stories and novels for which she’s become so beloved and admired.","brand":"Hogarth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46447196406015,"sku":"9780593733516","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780593733516_s600x595.jpg?v=1779818753","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780593733516","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
