On the U.S.-Mexico border, sitting on opposite banks of the Rio Grande, are the twin cities of Brownsville and Matamoros. Every day, hundreds of people cross the river to work, go to school, or simply spend an afternoon with their families. Every day, something is lost and gained in the moment of crossing.
Through eight interconnected stories that span forty years of history, Delgado presents a vivid portrayal of the conflicts and cultural expectations that shape life in this region. The collection opens with the early 2000s border crisis from the perspective of a Mexican street dog. In 1995, young Humberto Mendoza learns from his father about the Satanic Narco cult that once ruled Matamoros. Decades later, his cousin Camila offers a series of increasingly desperate prayers to God as she navigates her parents' divorce and her burgeoning feelings for her best friend. In this debut collection, Delgado calls us to question the nature of all borders--borders between countries, generations, genders, and languages.

Lucia V. Delgado is a Chicago-based writer and educator. She received her B.A. in Honors English from the University of Texas at Austin, where she wrote her undergraduate thesis on language use in borderlands literature. She then moved to Illinois to pursue an M.A. from the University of Chicago. Having been raised on both sides of the Río Grande, and hailing from a family that long predates the border, Lucia wrote Of the River in an effort to explain where she comes from.
