Her brand of love was not the cuddly kind-no, Mama’s love was meant to encourage people, especially her children, to rise to whatever challenge we faced. Mama loved her family, and also needy strangers who wandered into her life. Imagine being raised in the light of this worldview. If you encounter a problem-any problem at all-you can find a way to fix it if you have enough love. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. It could fix any problem, cure any ill, face any challenge.

Book Synopsis The second book in the much-loved series about Mr. Junot Diaz is the author, Drown is the book. A twist of brain and language, and eyes and heart and blood wrapped round it too. It's where no one but this particular author would know how to describe this person or that circumstance, this pain or that crime, the unique inside the generic. Now this is a thing you can't buy with money. They're that too, just like This Old Heart of Mine is a great dance number, but there's this thing called an authentic voice, or whatever the term is. As when you're listening to some old piece of music you never thought much of, it could be a long ago seemingly throwaway pop dance number like This Old Heart of Mine by the Isley Brothers, or some slyer more college-degreed album track like (let's say) Life During Wartime by Talking Heads, and you suddenly jump up and think but - but really, this is a masterpiece! - it's not just another painting-by-numbers from Motown, it's not just another sneery too-clever construction you skip while you're trying to find Once in a Lifetime, Juno Diaz' tales from the front line of squalour and immigration aren't just another vicarious thrillseeking tour of Poverty-and-Ignorance Hell, not just another wound-baring stigmata-showing howl from yet more people from yet another abyss you wish you didn't know about. Likely, it was for the best that the woman from the previous evening had disappeared, though the memory of lovely lush breasts, a mane of auburn curls, and a mouth made for sin did bring with it a wave of regret. He cursed, draped one forearm over his closed eyes, sunlight burning red behind the lids, and took a deep breath.ĭaylight was the fastest way to ruin a morning. He opened his eyes, the bright light of the Devonshire sun assaulting his senses and emphasizing the thundering in his head. Instead of a handful of warm, willing flesh, William came up with a handful of unsatisfying pillow. Knowing (as skilled drinkers do) that the splitting head would dissipate by midday, he moved to cure the other affliction and, without opening his eyes, reached for the female no doubt nearby. So it was that on this morning, he did not fret. William Harrow, Marquess of Chapin and heir to the dukedom of Lamont, was wealthy, titled, privileged and handsome-and a young man blessed with those traits rarely wanted for anything relating to wine or women. He had, after all, woken each day for more than half a decade with one of the items in question, and on more mornings than he could count with both. He woke with a splitting head and a hard cock. More than a few blindside you with a plot twist worthy of M. Her stories begin soberly enough-an old guy cleaning out an apartment (“Moses and Gaspar”), a shy girl sitting at the family table (“The Breakfast”)-but long-buried doubts and unspoken fears soon bubble to the surface. The world Dávila imagines weighs on the brain like some sort of delirium. So hats off to New Directions for getting behind Mexico’s high priestess of horror. Who’s to say if Garza’s book gave the publishing world the nudge it needed, but now we have a long-overdue translation of Dávila. Virtually unheard of stateside, Dávila has earned a lasting place in Mexican literature. At his doorstep a doctor finds his former lover and a mysterious woman who claims to be the real-life author Amparo Dávila. Like many Gothic novels, this one opens on a dark and stormy night. Last year saw the English translation of Cristina Rivera Garza’s The Iliac Crest. |
