Yuri Herrera, geboren 1970 in Actopán / Mexico. Studierte an der UNAM in Mexico D.F. und an der University of Texas, El Paso, promoviert in Berkeley. Herausgeber der Zeitschrift El perro (Der Hund).

A plague has brought death to the city. The government does nothing. And two feuding crime families with blood on their hands need our hard-boiled hero, The Redeemer, to broker a peace between them. Both his instincts and the vacant streets warn him to stay indoors, but The Redeemer ventures out into the city's underbelly to arrange for the exchange of the bodies they hold hostage. Yuri Herrera's novel is a response to the violence of contemporary Mexico. With echoes of Romeo and Juliet, Roberto Bolaño and Raymond Chandler, The Transmigration of Bodies is a noirish tragedy and a tribute to those bodies - loved, sanctified, lusted after and defiled - that violent crime has touched.
