She Will Be the Last of Us is a collection of closely interwoven short stories narrated by four generations of Mexican women. They are all members of the fictitious Belmonte family, once a stronghold in Mexican politics and high society, now nearing extinction. The collection explores the idea of legacy and repeated history, and what matters and remains when a family line dies out. Other thematic focuses include notions of class, nationalism, womanhood, and motherhood in Mexico and on the US-Mexico border. / MFA
