"San Juan: Memoir of a City" conducts readers through Puerto Rico's
capital, guided by one of its most graceful and reflective writers,
Edgardo Rodriguez Julia. No mere sightseeing tour, this is culture
through immersion, a circuit of San Juan's historical and
intellectual vistas as well as its architecture.
Set in strife-torn Guatemala City in the early 1980s, this
sophisticated, quasi-comedic tale depicts the decline and near-fall
of a prominent Guatemalan Jewish family. In the face of military
rule, terrorism, and sabotage, Marcos learns the truth about his
brother Aaron, only to find that sibling secrets can be every bit
as dangerous as civil unrest.
The extraordinary Muna Lee was a brilliant writer, lyric poet, translator, diplomat, feminist and rights activist, and, above all, a Pan-Americanist. During the twentieth century, she helped shape the literary and social landscapes of the Americas. This is the first biography of her remarkable life and a collection of her diverse writings, which embody her vision of Pan America, an old concept that remains new and meaningful today.
Lavinia is "The Inhabited Woman" accomplished, independent, and
fiercely modern. She is sheltered and self-involved, until the
spirit of an Indian woman warrior enters her being, then she dares
to join a revolutionary movement against a violent dictator
and--through the power of love--finds the courage to act.
