The US-based publisher Seven Stories Press published her short-story collection El matrimonio de los peces rojos (winner of the Ribera del Duero award[8] ) as Natural Histories (2014)[9] , as well as the novel The Body Where I Was Born (2015),[10] and her collection Bezoar and Other Unsettling Stories (2020).[11]

In 2022, her novel Still Born, published by Fitzcarraldo Editions in the UK, was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize[13] and praised by Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux as a book that "renders with great veracity life as it is encountered in the everyday, taking us to the heart of the only things that really matter: life, death and our relationship with others."[14]
Between 2024 and 2025, she was a fellow at the Institute for Ideas & Imagination at Columbia University in Paris.[15]
The Accidentals, her most recent collection of short stories, has been published in the UK by Fitzcarraldo in 2025.
