Once I moved like the wind. Now I surrender to you and that is all.The darkly funny and action-packed story of Geronimo and how the American West was 'won'A New York Times What to Read selection for 2026In the contested borderlands between Mexico and the United States, a Mexican woman flees into the desert after a devastating raid on her dead husband’s ranch. Meanwhile, a lieutenant colonel of the fledgling Republic, sent in pursuit of cattle rustlers, will soon discover he’s on the trail of a more dramatic abduction.Decades later, with political ambitions on the line, the American and Mexican militaries try to manoeuvre Geronimo, the most legendary of Apache warriors, into surrender. And in our own day, a family travels through the region in search of a truer version of the past.Now I Surrender is Álvaro Enrigue’s most impassioned novel yet. Part epic, part alt-Western, it weaves past and present, myth and history, into a searing elegy for a way of life that was an incarnation of true liberty – that still sparks in us the thrill of almost unimaginable freedom.Translated by Natasha Wimmer**Praise for Álvaro Enrigue**'Endlessly inventive' GUARDIAN'Brilliantly original' SALMAN RUSHDIE'Glorious' NEW YORK TIMES'Wildly funny' LAUREN GROFF'I was so impressed that I'm on my second reread' TORREY PETERS'A triumph' FINANCIAL TIMES'Brain-spinning' MARLON JAMES
