From a three-room apartment in Brooklyn
occupied by ten family members, Esmeralda Santiago is challenged by language barriers,
cultural stereotypes, and the fiercely protective Mami, Santiago
continues the rollicking ascent she began in When I Was Puerto
Rican. By day she perfects the role of Cleopatra at Performing Arts
High School and interprets for the family at city welfare offices.
At night she accompanies her mother and sisters to Latin dance
halls, but on such a strict leash that she has her first date at the
age of twenty. Undaunted, she makes up for lost time in a romantic
apprenticeship at once hilarious and heartbreaking.

by Luis
Sepulveda
$8.76 Paperback,

Aims International Books: Dimensions (in
inches): 0.91 x 8.49 x 5.76
The Chilean expatriate novelist
Luis Sepulveda, who scored a major hit in the Spanish-speaking world
with his 1992 book The Old Man Who Read Love Stories, has
concocted an adventure tale about a quest for missing Nazi gold. The
main characters include a Chilean revolutionary named after a famous
matador, a pair of former SS agents, and a Swiss insurance
investigator; they meet up in the desolate reaches of Tierra del
Fuego in their search for the Wandering Crescent Collection, a set
of 63 priceless gold coins that disappeared from Nazi Germany in
1943. Sepulveda blends the tense adventure of a Frederic Forsyth
novel with a Borgesian sensibility--and manages to pull it off. |
