Women from Outer Space is a galactic book, an intense one—an experimental device in itself. It could be described as a feminist epic or poetic narrative, a manifesto from the edge of the apocalypse, offering a fierce response to the urgencies and urges of our time. With her immersive style, Borrero draws readers out of the page and into an active, embodied writing experience, while simultaneously resignifying the different forms of violence that surround us.
