Download or read book Bodega Dreams written by Ernesto Quiñonez and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-01-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this "thriller with literary merit" (Time Out New York), a stunning narrative combines the gritty rhythms of Junot Diaz with the noir genius of Walter Mosley. Bodega Dreams pulls us into Spanish Harlem, where the word is out: Willie Bodega is king. Need college tuition for your daughter? Start-up funds for your fruit stand? Bodega can help. He gives everyone a leg up, in exchange only for loyalty—and a steady income from the drugs he pushes. Lyrical, inspired, and darkly funny, this powerful debut novel brilliantly evokes the trial of Chino, a smart, promising young man to whom Bodega turns for a favor. Chino is drawn to Bodega's street-smart idealism, but soon finds himself over his head, navigating an underworld of switchblade tempers, turncoat morality, and murder. "Bodega is a fascinating character. . . . The story [Quiñonez] tells has energy and verve." —The New York Times Book Review
Book Synopsis Brooklyn Bodega by : Michael Leifman
Download or read book Brooklyn Bodega written by Michael Leifman and published by Trafford on Demand Pub. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a bodega? A bodega is a Spanish word typically associated with a small grocery store or neighborhood convenience store predominately owned and run by Hispanics, among other ethnic groups. However, there are other associations with this word as well. The word bodega also means a wine shop or a warehouse for the storage of wine. Nevertheless, if you ask most people what a bodega is, they will tell you it is a small grocery store, but not a 7-11. I chose to title this book Brooklyn Bodega simply because of the many distinct bodegas in Brooklyn. Although Manhattan and Staten Island have bodegas also, they do not share the genuine look and feel of Brooklyn's bodegas. Furthermore, there are just too many bodegas in the Bronx and Queens to go out and photograph. Besides that, Brooklyn Bodega sounds much cooler than New York City Bodega! Growing up in Brooklyn and living here practically all my life, I was exposed to a certain kind of lifestyle-a certain culture-one consisting of various ethnic communities and one-of-a-kind neighborhoods. Immigrants who make up these communities are Dominican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Saudi-Arabian, Mexican, Korean, Chinese, Indian, Senegalese, Italian, Russian, Polish and many more. Brooklyn Bodega primarily focuses on the visual and aesthetic look of the bodega, if you will. Although there is much history to the bodega, what the author, Michael Leifman, is concentrating on is the look of the bodega. By displaying exterior photographs, you can see how each bodega shares similar but distinct features. With the corrugated metal awnings, yellow and red colors, and bold graphics, these architectural structures are a part of the unmistakable landscape of New York City. Each photograph allows the viewer to see how the bodega stands on its own. By incorporating people, graffiti, and advertising, the bodega becomes a product of the community a place that fits right into its surroundings and plays a special role with the people who frequent it.
Download or read book Bodega written by Su Hwang and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2021 Kate Tufts Discovery Award Winner of the 2020 Minnesota Book Award in Poetry Against the backdrop of the war on drugs and the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, a Korean girl comes of age in her parents’ bodega in the Queensbridge projects, offering a singular perspective on our nation of immigrants and the tensions pulsing in the margins where they live and work. In Su Hwang’s rich lyrical and narrative poetics, the bodega and its surrounding neighborhoods are cast not as mere setting, but as an ecosystem of human interactions where a dollar passed from one stranger to another is an act of peaceful revolution, and desperate acts of violence are “the price / of doing business in the projects where we / were trapped inside human cages—binding us / in a strange circus where atoms of haves / and have-nots always forcefully collide.” These poems also reveal stark contrasts in the domestic lives of immigrants, as the speaker’s own family must navigate the many personal, cultural, and generational chasms that arise from having to assume a hyphenated identity—lending a voice to the traumatic toll invisibility, assimilation, and sacrifice take on so many pursuing the American Dream. “We each suffer alone in / tandem,” Hwang declares, but in Bodega, she has written an antidote to this solitary hurt—an incisive poetic debut that acknowledges and gives shape to anguish as much as it cherishes human life, suggesting frameworks for how we might collectively move forward with awareness and compassion.

Download or read book Bodega Cat written by Louie Chin and published by POW! Kids Books. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recipient of the Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection Award, Bodega Cat is an ode to New York's iconic feline friend, and the communities they call home. Bodega is a Spanish word for "grocery store," but they are so much more than that. Bodegas are often a community cornerstone, a welcoming neighborhood haven, and in New York, an emblem of the city's cultural diversity. And who knows these treasured institutions better than the cats who run them? (Or at least they think they do!) In Bodega Cat, a cat named Chip takes us through his bustling workday at the Matos family's bodega: from receiving boxes in the morning and the breakfast rush, through counting inventory and making deliveries, to dinnertime with his family, when Papi cooks up some of the best Dominican food in the borough for their friends and neighbors. There is no rest for this busy kitty...except for when it's time to chase pigeons with his brother Damian, or to take the occasional nap on the potato chip bags. A slice of city life that celebrates the people who give New York its heart.

Download or read book Sherry written by Talia Baiocchi and published by Ten Speed Press. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no other wine that is as versatile, as utterly unique in its range and production methods—and, unfortunately, as misunderstood—as sherry. For centuries, sherry was considered one of the world’s great wines, spoken about in the same reverential terms as the finest Bordeaux and Burgundies. But in the last few decades, sherry lost its way—and cheap, cloyingly sweet blends sullied the reputation of what remains one of Spain’s oldest and greatest winemaking traditions. Thankfully, sherry is in the midst of a renaissance. Beloved of sommeliers and bartenders in the craft cocktail community, today sherry is being re-discovered and re-appreciated as an incredible table wine and essential component of many classic cocktails. Sherry is essential reading for wine or spirits professionals looking to incorporate this complex wine into their menu, and for adventurous drink enthusiasts who are on the hunt for something unexpected. With a comprehensive yet accessible overview of the different styles of sherry, how they are made, and the people and places that produce it, Sherry demystifies what can be a confusing (and seemingly contradictory) wine. A thorough buyer’s guide lists top producers and profiles the very best bodegas and wines. And a whole chapter on sherry-based cocktails illuminates a completely different side of sherry, featuring classic recipes like the Tuxedo and Sherry Cobbler, as well as modern creations from the country’s top bartenders (Jim Meehan’s East India Negroni, Derek Brown’s Kojo Cocktail). More than a dozen recipes for tapas and other delicious foods—best eaten alongside a glass of sherry, of course—round out this wonderfully eclectic, engaging, and inspiring collection.
