Growing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago in the nineties, Erika S̀nchez was a self-described pariah, misfit, and disappointment--a foul-mouthed, melancholic rabble-rouser who painted her nails black but also loved comedy, often laughing so hard with her friends that she had to leave her school classroom. Twenty-five years later, she's now an award-winning novelist, poet, and essayist, but she's still got an irrepressible laugh, an acerbic wit, and singular powers of perception about the world around her. In these essays, S̀nchez writes about everything from sex to white feminism to debilitating depression, revealing an interior life rich with ideas, self-awareness, and perception. Raunchy, insightful, unapologetic, and brutally honest, Crying in the Bathroom is S̀nchez at her best--a book that will make you feel that post-confessional high that comes from talking for hours with your best friend]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3243603</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3243603</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sánchez, Erika L.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3243603133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>memorias</subtitle><language>spa</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593314739/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crying in the Bathroom]]></title><description><![CDATA[Growing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago in the nineties, Erika S̀nchez was a self-described pariah, misfit, and disappointment--a foul-mouthed, melancholic rabble-rouser who painted her nails black but also loved comedy, often laughing so hard with her friends that she had to leave her school classroom.

Ese era el rol de su hermana Olga. Olga no fue a la universidad, se quedó en casa para cuidar a sus padres, limpiar la casa y trabajar a medio tiempo. Julia tiene grandes sueños y no quiere formar parte del camino de su hermana mayor. Pero un solo error, que ocurre mientras enviaba un mensaje de texto al mismo tiempo que cruzaba la calle más concurrida de Chicago, resulta en la muerte de Olga, dejando atrás a Julia para ocuparse de las secuelas.   Sus padres, quienes inmigraron ilegalmente a Chicago desde México en busca de una vida mejor, están inconsolables. La madre de Julia parece canalizar su dolor para señalar de todas las maneras posibles que Julia no es la hija mexicana perfecta que Olga era. Pero Julia pronto descubre que Olga puede haber tenido secretos, también. Con la ayuda de su mejor amiga Lorena, Julia está decidida a descubrirlo. ¿Era Olga realmente lo que parecía? ¿O había algo más en la historia de su hermana? Y de cualquier manera, ¿cómo puede Julia incluso intentar vivir a la altura de un ideal aparentemente imposible?"--Back cover.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C2901588</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C2901588</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sánchez, Erika L.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2901588133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle/><language>spa</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525564324/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[I Am Not your Perfect Mexican Daughter]]></title><description><![CDATA[Perfect Mexican daughters do not go away to college.
