Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Steven Holland-Wempe, Sandra Kingery, and the author. "This debut collection is amazing. The finesse of the storytelling is a pleasure on every page. The importance of immigrant issues becomes not a political statement so much as an epic story of all peoples' survival. Although the stories are not linked and take place in various geographies--China, Europe, the United States, and Mexico--still, the continuity remains with the heroine figure. She is a woman who travels through miseries, between the worlds of the living and the spirits. La Llorona's shadow casts a spell on these stories, where loss occurs, but the natural world offers solace, as well as unexpected beauties. This is a book of songs as well as myths."--Denise Low-Weso
CubaRican is a bilingual sequence of vignettes and poems based on the author's experiences growing up in Puerto Rico as a Cuban exile. Evoking childhood memories, the author explores the feelings of a boy developing an identity in a place that seems both familiar and alien. Throughout this loose chronology, parents, siblings, and childhood friends serve as symbols for the increasing sense of conflict the boy grapples with and struggles to identify. Describing both the Puerto Rican countryside and its urban grit, the maturing narrator eventually comes to grips with both sides of his Caribbean self.
Incantation is a Chicana's witness of America's ongoing chaos, love, resistance, and resilience.
