**LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2026**

**Winner of the National Book Award for Translated Literature**

A sumptuous and surreal historical reimagining of one of South America's best-known trans men, Antonio de Erauso


'Playful and devastating, tender and enraging' INTERNATIONAL BOOKER JUDGES, 2026

'Luminous' SAMANTA SCHWEBLIN

'Bold and compassionate' Financial Times

From deep in the wilds of the New World, Antonio de Erauso writes a letter to his aunt, the prioress of the convent he escaped as a young girl. Since leaving his past behind, he's become Antonio, conquistador. Now, hiding in the jungle and hounded by the army he deserted, Antonio is caring for two Guaraní girls he rescued from enslavement. But the New World has one more metamorphosis in store, which might save them all from extinction.

Tender and surreal, We Are Green and Trembling conveys glimmers of hope for the future within the brutal colonial history of Latin America, finding in the rainforest a magical space for transformation.

'Profoundly resonant... the power of storytelling to reclaim what history tries to erase' Chicago Review of Books

'Sensuous and searing - a queer anticolonial picaresque' Publishers Weekly
