In the poppy-growing mountains of Guerrero, mothers make their daughters ugly — cut their hair, dress them as boys, hide them in holes in the ground — so the cartel men won't take them. Clement spent years in this community. The novel that came out of it is not journalism and not exploitation. It's witness. The most intimate dispatch from inside the geography of the feminicide that 2666 mapped from above.
