"All we do, mija, is love. Love is the answer. Nothing stops it. Not borders. Not death."  In his final days, beloved and ailing patriarch Miguel Angel de La Cruz, affectionately called Big Angel, has summoned his entire clan for one last legendary birthday party. But as the party approaches, his mother, nearly one hundred, dies, transforming the weekend into a farewell doubleheader. Among the guests is Big Angel's half brother, known as Little Angel, who must reckon with the truth that although he shares a father with his siblings, he has not, as a half gringo, shared a life.  Across two bittersweet days in their San Diego neighborhood, the revelers mingle among the palm trees and cacti, celebrating the lives of Big Angel and his mother, and recounting the many inspiring tales that have passed into family lore, the acts both ordinary and heroic that brought these citizens to a fraught and sublime country and allowed them to flourish in the land they have come to call home.  Teeming with brilliance and humor, authentic at every turn,  The House of Broken Angels  is Luis Alberto Urrea at his best, and cements his reputation as a storyteller of the first rank.  "Epic . . .

She makes fast friends in training with Dorothy Dunford, a towering Midwesterner with a ferocious wit.

Her most fervent hope, which becomes more precarious by the day, is for all three of them to survive the war intact.     Taking as inspiration his mother&rsquo;s own Red Cross service, Luis Alberto Urrea has delivered an overlooked story of women&rsquo;s heroism in World War II. With its affecting and uplifting portrait of friendship and valor in harrowing circumstances,  Good Night, Irene  powerfully demonstrates yet again that Urrea&rsquo;s &ldquo;gifts as a storyteller are prodigious&rdquo;

One week into the COVID-19 shutdown, tenants of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants--some of whom have barely spoken to each other--become real neighbors. In this Decameron-like serial novel, general editors Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the people who couldn't escape when the pandemic hit. A dazzling, heartwarming, and ultimately surprising narrative, Fourteen Days reveals how beneath the horrible loss and suffering, some communities managed to become stronger. Includes writing from: Charlie Jane Anders, Margaret Atwood, Jennine Capó Crucet, Joseph Cassara, Angie Cruz, Pat Cummings, Sylvia Day, Emma Donoghue, Dave Eggers, Diana Gabaldon, Tess Gerritsen, John Grisham, Maria Hinojosa, Mira Jacob, Erica Jong, CJ Lyons, Celeste Ng, Tommy Orange, Mary Pope Osborne, Douglas Preston, Alice Randall, Ishmael Reed, Roxana Robinson, Nelly Rosario, James Shapiro, Hampton Sides, R.L.

One week into the COVID-19 shutdown, tenants of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants--some of whom have barely spoken to each other--become real neighbors. In this Decameron-like serial novel, general editors Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the people who couldn't escape when the pandemic hit.

Writing in an era when Latino voices were marginalized and just beginning to be read and acknowledged, Anaya broke new ground with Bless Me, Ultima (1972), a mythic novel that captures the richness and complexity of history, community, and place in the American Southwest. Bless Me, Ultima, read eagerly and widely before receiving even a single mainstream review, launched Anaya on an acclaimed literary career. Tortuga (1979), drawing on his own experience of suffering and recuperation after a diving accident as a teenager, is set in a rehabilitation center for disabled children. And in the 1992 novel Alburquerque (restoring the original "r" that was removed from the city's name), a young boxing champion discovers that his white biological mother had given him up for adoption at birth, spurring him to reevaluate everything he had thought himself to be. Rudolfo Anaya (1937-2020) was born in the village of Pastura, New Mexico, and moved with his family to Albuquerque at the age of 14. He graduated from the University of New Mexico with a B.A. in English and taught in Albuquerque's public schools"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2677651</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2677651</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anaya, Rudolfo A.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2677651138</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781598537291/MC.GIF&amp;client=sntpapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1289986676</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A World of Turtles]]></title><link>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C1571031</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C1571031</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 1997 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1571031138</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Literary Celebration</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781555661908/MC.GIF&amp;client=sntpapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=37226869</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Latino Poetry]]></title><description><![CDATA[This landmark Latinx poetry collection offers "a wondrous journey through the passions, the ideas, and the diversity of a people redefining what it means to be American" (Héctor Tobar, Pulitzer Prize winner) Includes more than 180 poets, spanning from the 17th century to today, and presents those poems written in Spanish in the original and in English translation.-- Amazon.com.]]></description><link>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2892647</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2892647</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2892647138</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Library of America Anthology</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781598537833/MC.GIF&amp;client=sntpapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1412202812</image_url></item></channel></rss>
