Download or read book Los Muertos written by Yvette D. Benavides and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2024-12-10 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observed in Mexico and parts of the United States, El Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a celebratory holiday. Los Muertos is the first anthology of fiction relating to or inspired by this bicultural tradition. Each of the two dozen Mexican and Mexican American writers featured here has a unique affinity for the myriad ideas connected closely to the El Día de Muertos—some in less obvious ways. The stories connect to the metaphors and connotations related to memorializing the dead, some reflecting on the ritualized and religious aspects of what has become a commercialized holiday and others reacting to such cultural appropriations. In celebration and reconciliation, stories like Alessandra Narváez Varela’s, told from the point of view of a Día de los Muertos wreath, and Marytza Rubio’s, about a young woman trying to rewrite a young man’s death through parallel dimensions, illustrate the ways Latino cultures process death. From Kirstin Valdez Quade’s little girl struggling to accept her mother’s abandonment to David Rice’s character forgiving himself in remembrance of his daughter’s namesake, each character fully embraces what it means to look death in the face and celebrate the losses of the departed. From solemn ofrendas and milagros to everyday acts far removed from any trace of pan de muerto or papel picado, these diverse stories call us to appreciate the holiday’s broader cultural significance. Writers include Ana Gloria Álvarez Pedrajo, Rosa Beltrán, Ana García Bergua, Ana Castillo, Lucha Corpi, Kali Fajardo-Anstine, Fernando A. Flores, Elizabeth Gonzalez James, Diana López, Lorraine M. López, Alberto Reyes Morgan, Manuel Muñoz, Alessandra Narváez-Varela, Guadalupe Nettel, Daniel A. Olivas, Pedro Ángel Palou, Rene S Perez II, Kirstin Valdez Quade, David Rice, Alberto Ríos, Ito Romo, Marytza K. Rubio, Socorro Venegas, and Désirée Zamorano.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Bone Chime Song & Other Stories, Joanne Anderton explores the darkness and the beauty of humans caught on the fringes and pushed to the very edge of the abyss. Enter worlds where terrible secrets are hidden in a wind chime's song, where crippled witches forge magic from scrap, and the beautiful dead dance for eternity. With deities built from circuits and wires, sacrificial drought-ridden towns, and artists who dabble in bone and decay, every story plots a course from the gothic to the fantastic and winds its way back again. Whether charting bleak futures or delving into the darkest of horrors, Anderton’s extraordinary talent weaves magic into every tale, presenting stories guaranteed to draw you in—and never let you go. Winner of both The Australian Shadows Award and Aurealis Award for best collection, The Bone Chime Song & Other Stories returns to entice a new generation of readers.

Download or read book The Canyon written by Stanley Crawford and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scotty’s family owns a lodge near their silver mine in the Colorado Rockies. Summers at the lodge are idyllic for Scotty and his cousin Mickey. The grown-ups are dealing with the complications of business and adult dysfunction, but the boys are more interested in the complications of puberty, especially when Rosalind, the teenage daughter of family friends, is on hand. To read this quiet, rich evocation of adolescent watchfulness is to experience what it is like to be fourteen years old, waiting for something to happen, aware of everything but oblivious to as much of it as possible. Readers will be reminded of such modern masters as William Maxwell and John Updike.
