Book Synopsis Leaving Tabasco by : Carmen Boullosa
Download or read book Leaving Tabasco written by Carmen Boullosa and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young woman encounters strange events in her Mexican hometown in this novel by an author who “immerses us...in her wickedly funny and imaginative world” (Latina). Leaving Tabasco tells of the coming of age of Delmira Ulloa, raised in an all-female home in Agustini, in the Mexican province of Tabasco. In Agustini it is not unusual to see your grandmother float above the bed when she sleeps, or to purchase torrential rains at a traveling fair, or to watch your family’s elderly serving woman develop stigmata, then disappear completely, to be canonized as a local saint. But as Delmira becomes a woman, she will set out on a search for her missing father, and must make a choice that could mean leaving her home forever, in a tale filled with both depth and delightful mystery that poses questions about just how real the real world is. “To flee Agustini is to leave not just a town but the viscerally primal dreamscape it represents.”— The New York Times Book Review “Vibrant...Each chapter is an adventure.”—The Boston Globe “We happily share with [Delmira] her life, including the infinitely charming town she inhabits [and] her grandmother’s fantastic imagination.”—The Washington Post Book World

Book Synopsis They're Cows, We're Pigs by : Carmen Boullosa
Download or read book They're Cows, We're Pigs written by Carmen Boullosa and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dark, thought-provoking adventure that “artfully evokes the blood-soaked reality of 17th-century pirates” (Entertainment Weekly). This “wryly humorous, satiric, and often macabre novel” (Library Journal) follows Jean Smeeks, a Flemish thirteen-year-old who signs up as an indentured servant with the French West Indies Company, but instead winds up a slave on the notorious island of Tortuga. Over time, he learns the arts of herbal medicine and surgery—a skill that allows him to join a band of Caribbean pirates. Contrasting Jean’s romantic pull toward the “Brethren of the Coast”—an all-male society pursuing socialist, anti-colonialist ideals—with the brutal reality of their lawless existence, They’re Cows, We’re Pigs is a “unique and memorable” novel whose “pirate world leaves you as a good book should: thinking” (The Boston Herald).
Download or read book Decidí Vivir written by Julie Hersh and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decidí Vivir es una historia de esperanza. La historia sobre mi experiencia personal con la depresión clínica se lee como una novela vertiginosa, con personajes que encantan y frustran. El contenido es duro, pero he aprendido que mi historia está lejos de ser única. La depresión es una enfermedad muy extendida e insidiosa. Mi libro se refiere también a mi búsqueda de la identidad. Después de dejar el mundo de los negocios para cuidar a mis niños pequeños y abuelos, así también como para adaptarme a una cultura muy diferente a la cual me había educado, me evaporé en mi entorno, ya sin estar segura de quién era yo. ¿Cuál era mi propósito? ¿Qué es lo que quería? Estas preguntas me afectaban y ponían en marcha mi tendencia genética a la depresión. La mayoría de las personas responde a estas preguntas sin tener que pasar por la sala de psiquiatría, pero mi camino estaba lleno de baches; la sala de psiquiatría fue sólo una de las muchas paradas. Cada vez que hablo de mi experiencia, conozco gente que a menudo se encuentra a un paso de la devastación mental o incluso del suicidio. Las historias sobre madres, padres, hermanos, hermanas, esposos y niños hacen que me pregunte: ¿Podríamos haber evitado esas muertes? Si estamos más conscientes, podremos ver las primeras señales de la depresión y salvar una vida? Creo que sí. Con esta convicción, ofrezco mi historia. Las ganancias de las ventas de este libro serán donadas a los programas y la investigación para luchar contra las enfermedades mentales.
Book Synopsis The Book of Anna by : Carmen Boullosa
Download or read book The Book of Anna written by Carmen Boullosa and published by Coffee House Press. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia, 1905. Behind the gates of the Karenin Palace, Sergei, son of Anna Karenina, meets Tolstoy in his dreams and finds reminders of his mother everywhere: the almost-living portrait that the Tsar intends to acquire and the opium-infused manuscripts she wrote just before her death, one of which opens a trapdoor to a wild feminist fairytale. Across the city, Clementine, an anarchist seamstress, and Father Gapón, the charismatic leader of the proletariat, tip the country ever closer to revolution. Boullosa lifts the voices of coachmen, sailors, maids, and seamstresses in this playful, polyphonic, and subversive revision of the Russian revolution, told through the lens of Tolstoy’s most beloved work.
Book Synopsis Cleopatra Dismounts by : Carmen Boullosa
Download or read book Cleopatra Dismounts written by Carmen Boullosa and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enchanting, audacious retelling of the Cleopatra story from a Mexican novelist who is “a luminous writer” and “a masterful spinner of the fantastic” (The Miami Herald). In Cleopatra Dismounts, Carmen Boullosa has written a remarkable imaginary life of one of history’s most legendary women. Dying in Marc Antony’s arms, Cleopatra bewails the end of her political career throughout ancient Egypt, Greece, and the Mediterranean. But is this weak woman the true Cleopatra? Through the intervention of Cleopatra’s scribe and informer Diomedes, Boullosa creates two deliriously wild other lives for the young monarch—a girl escaping the intrigues of royal society to disguise herself and take up residence with a band of pirates; and the young queen who is carried across the sea on the back of a magical bull, to live among the Amazons. Magical, multifaceted, and rippling with luminous imagination, Cleopatra Dismounts confirms Carmen Boullosa as an important international voice. “Wildly entertaining.” —The Washington Post “A highly appealing and poetic interpretation of the Egyptian queen’s doomed fate.” —San Francisco Chronicle “The Mexican fabulist Carmen Boullosa reinvents Cleopatra as a character for modern feminism to conjure with.” —The Boston Globe
Book Synopsis Let’s Talk About Your Wall by : Carmen Boullosa
Download or read book Let’s Talk About Your Wall written by Carmen Boullosa and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major writers from Mexico weigh in on U.S. immigration policy, from harrowing migrant journeys to immigrant detention to the life beyond the wall Despite the extensive coverage in the U.S. media of the southern border and Donald Trump's proposed wall, most English speakers have had little access to the multitude of perspectives from Mexico on the ongoing crisis. Celebrated novelist Carmen Boullosa (author of Texas and Before) and Alberto Quintero redress this imbalance with this collection of essays—translated into English for the first time—drawing on writing by journalists, novelists, and documentary-makers who are Mexican or based in Mexico. Contributors include the award-winning author Valeria Luiselli, whose Tell Me How It Ends is the go-to book on the child migrant crisis, and the novelist Yuri Herrera, author of the highly acclaimed Signs Preceding the End of the World. Let's Talk About Your Wall uses Trump's wall as a starting point to discuss important questions, including the history of U.S.-Mexican relations, and questions of sovereignty, citizenship, and borders. An essential resource for anyone seeking to form a well-grounded opinion on one of the central issues of our day, Let's Talk About Your Wall provides a fierce and compelling counterpoint to the racist bigotry and irrational fear that consumes the debate over immigration, and a powerful symbol of opposition to exclusion and hate.
Book Synopsis A Narco History by : Carmen Boullosa
Download or read book A Narco History written by Carmen Boullosa and published by OR Books. This book was released on 2016-11 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "Mexican Drug War" misleads. It implies that the ongoing bloodbath, which has now killed well over 100,000 people, is an internal Mexican affair. But this diverts attention from the U.S. role in creating and sustaining the carnage. It's not just that Americans buy drugs from, and sell weapons to, Mexico's murderous cartels. It's that ever since the U.S. prohibited the use and sale of drugs in the early 1900s, it has pressured Mexico into acting as its border enforcer--with increasingly deadly consequences. Mexico was not a helpless victim. Powerful forces within the country profited hugely from supplying Americans with what their government forbade them. But the policies that spawned the drug war have proved disastrous for both countries. Written by two award-winning authors, one American and the other Mexican,A Narco History reviews the interlocking twentieth-century histories that produced this twenty-first century calamity, and proposes how to end it.
