Praise for Jose Rivera:
"Even if you've never seen Puerto Rico or grown old, you sit
there ruminating on love, sacrifice, and betrayal."--"Chicago
Tribune," on "Boleros for the Disenchanted"
"Teasingly engrossing. . . . Vividly written. . . . An
intriguing and evocative drama."--"The San Francisco Chronicle,"
on" Brainpeople"
"Mr. Rivera's intimate play . . . uses historical fact as a
frame to pose intriguing questions about what might have
happened."--"The New York Times," on "School of the Americas"
Three new works from Jose Rivera, a writer known for his lush
language, open heart, and stylistic flirting with the surreal.
"Boleros for the Disenchanted "is the moving story of the
playwrights own parents: their sweet courtship in 1950s Puerto
Rico, and then forty years later in more difficult times in
America. With "Brainpeople," Rivera explores the troubled minds of
three women in a post-apocalyptic setting who feast on a freshly
slaughtered tiger. In "School of the Americas," he imagines Che
Guevara's encounter--more passionate than political--with a young
schoolteacher in Bolivia. Also included is his one-act penned in
protest of California's Proposition 8, "Pablo and Andrew at the
Altar of Words."
Jose Rivera's works include the plays "References to Salvador
Dali Make Me Hot," "Marisol," "Cloud Tectonics," and "Sueno" (an
adaptation of "Life Is a Dream"), as well as the Oscar-nominated
screenplay to "The Motorcycle Diaries."

Esta novela bien pudiera ser leida como un libro de viajes. Algo
debe, si, a los road movies del cine, pero sobre todo es un viaje
interior y tremendo al fuego de la pasion y al horror de la
venganza, con Barcelona, Marsella, Shanghai y Kioto como escenarios
y Montecristo flotando sobre las aguas turbias de la
irracionalidad. Las Noches de Obon son tambien un paseo nocturno
por aquel Oriente que nunca atraveso el tamiz del pensamiento
griego, con su animismo y su tao, sus desencantos, sus miles de
dioses y su culto a los ancestros. Con sus inquebrantables reglas
sociales, en las que se siente el enorme peso de las tradiciones y
de la familia. El Oriente mitico que no cuestiona la
subordinacion."
