Download or read book El P Jaro Escritor written by Manolo Yag E. and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El pájaro escritor es único en su especie: se trata de un hombre diminuto que vive encerrado en una pajarera y se pasa el día, muy a su pesar, escribiendo. El pájaro escritor se compone de trece relatos de sorprendente factura: la conducta insensata de dos ancianos japoneses ante el desastre de Fukushima; un hombre que a todas horas escucha caer una gota y cuya mujer incuba un feto de dos cabezas; un niño que desaparece durante el juego del escondite; un barrendero que vive en el interior de una baldosa por temor a cruzar líneas en el suelo; un padre fallecido que se le aparece a su hijo en la forma de una ridícula..., en fin, mejor que lo lean. Ejemplos de personajes cotidianos o risibles, a los que les sucede por un momento algo extraordinario o simplemente extraño: el arte de la literatura lo transforma en una metáfora de sus vidas. El humor, a veces negro, pero siempre compasivo, está entretejido de forma inevitable con la tragedia o el drama, como nos demuestran estos relatos ingeniosos y de fácil lectura, aunque no simples. Son, muy al contrario, cuentos cargados de profundidad emocional y humana.
Download or read book The Ballad of Gato Guerrero written by Manuel Ramos and published by Arte Público Press. This book was released on with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attorney Luis Montez and Felix “Gato” Guerrero, childhood friends who have survived numerous obstacles, are finally prospering. Luis is making more money in his chosen profession than he ever has and is excited about his work. Felix has gotten his life back in order after his time in Vietnam and the tragic deaths of his wife and daughter. He has even found love again. But Felix has always had a knack for getting into trouble—and this time he’s dragging Luis along with him! Felix’s new beloved is a girl from their past who worked her way out of Denver’s Northside barrio by marrying into the city’s most notorious crime family. Her husband runs the business and people who mess with him—or his things—end up with their brains splattered all over the county. As Luis juggles his caseload, including one against the local police for beating up a Mexican-American woman, and helping her hoodlum son, he gets caught up in the lovebirds’ attempt to escape her dangerous husband. But he’s not the only one looking for El Gato, and all too soon bodies start piling up around them! Originally published in 1994 by St. Martin’s Press and reissued by Northwestern University Press in 2004, this riveting second installment in the Luis Montez Mystery series of five novels takes readers on a wild ride through Denver’s mean streets and deadly encounters with young gangbangers, established gangsters and even those tasked with protecting residents—cops who continue to harass brown people with impunity.
Download or read book Hierarchies at Home written by Anasa Hicks and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hierarchies at Home traces the experiences of Cuban domestic workers from the abolition of slavery through the 1959 revolution. Domestic service – childcare, cleaning, chauffeuring for private homes – was both ubiquitous and ignored as formal labor in Cuba, a phenomenon made possible because of who supposedly performed it. In Cuban imagery, domestic workers were almost always black women and their supposed prevalence in domestic service perpetuated the myth of racial harmony. African-descended domestic workers were 'like one of the family', just as enslaved Cubans had supposedly been part of the families who owned them before slavery's abolition. This fascinating work challenges this myth, revealing how domestic workers consistently rejected their invisibility throughout the twentieth century. By following a group marginalized by racialized and gendered assumptions, Anasa Hicks destabilizes traditional analyses on Cuban history, instead offering a continuous narrative that connects pre- and post-revolutionary Cuba.

Download or read book The Whole Island written by Mark Weiss and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-11-25 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuba's cultural influence throughout the Western Hemisphere, and especially in the United States, has been disproportionally large for so small a country. This landmark volume is the first comprehensive overview of poetry written over the past sixty years. Presented in a beautiful Spanish-English en face edition, The Whole Island makes available the astonishing achievement of a wide range of Cuban poets, including such well-known figures as Nicolás Guillén, José Lezama Lima, and Nancy Morejón, but also poets widely read in Spanish who remain almost unknown to the English-speaking world—among them Fina García Marruz, José Kozer, Raúl Hernández Novás, and Ángel Escobar—and poets born since the Revolution, like Rogelio Saunders, Omar Pérez, Alessandra Molina, and Javier Marimón. The translations, almost all of them new, convey the intensity and beauty of the accompanying Spanish originals. With their work deeply rooted in Cuban culture, many of these poets—both on and off the island—have been at the center of the political and social changes of this tempestuous period. The poems offered here constitute an essential source for understanding the literature and culture of Cuba, its diaspora, and the Caribbean at large, and provide an unparalleled perspective on what it means to be Cuban.
