Now I Surrender
The three narratives in Now I Surrender never quite cohere ... Here’s one reason I love reading Enrigue anyway. The tough guys in his fiction often have effeminate sides (some of their boots have improbable heels) and they’re always taking miniature pratfalls ... Enrigue’s novels are not the places to come if you are nostalgic for notional simplicities of the American past. He’s one of the best we have, and he’s not done pushing against conventions.

A literary elegy for the Chiricahua Apache and a thought-provoking meditation on defiance, defeat, and assimilation.

As with Enrigue’s earlier books, he’s determined to upset narrative convention, and Wimmer, his longtime translator, handles his veering skillfully ... A curious but effective treatment of an underappreciated effort to resist imperialism.
