We're so excited to share that Señorita Etcetera appears in the Words Without Borders January 2025 Edition of Watchlist, edited by Tobias Carroll. Of Señorita Etcetera, Carroll writes:
"Veka Duncan’s introduction to this edition of Señorita Etcetera refers to Arqueles Vela as “the first avant-garde prose writer in Latin America.” That avant-garde aesthetic takes many forms; readers of this collection will find use of liminal spaces, meticulously arranged documents, and a sense that the limits of language are being tested. It doesn’t hurt that Julianna Neuhouser’s translation features some memorable prose, as in the story “A Provisional Crime”: “It was doubtlessly a salon death.”'
