Torrey Peters, authorEven though it came out only last year, I was so impressed with Álvaro Enrigue’s You Dreamed of Empiresthat I am on my second reread. As all around me institutions fall and norms fail, I feel the moment requires audacious re-imaginings of history or possibilities of thought, and on both a political and imaginative level, Enrigue delivers with his wild telling of the meeting between Hernán Cortés and Moctezuma.
