Season of the Swamp (2024) is Yuri Herrera’s first novel written in English rather than Spanish. Set in 1850s New Orleans, it follows a fictionalized Benito Juarez during his years of exile before returning to Mexico to become president.
The novel is a departure from Herrera’s earlier, more compressed fiction, though it shares his interest in borders, displacement, and political power.
