description: Original Portuguese "Já nào gosto de chocolates". Álamo Oliveira’s extraordinary novel about an Azorean daily life on the North American continent, with all its dramas and glories. In a sumptuous dialectic, Álamo Oliveira tells us the lives of a family who, like so many Azorean families, out of economic necessity one day exchanged the placidity of the Azores for the roiling of the melting pot. This is a narrative of emotions, culture shocks. And linguistic challenges that wind up toppling some taboos and provoking in each reader an amalgam of feelings and issues…” - Diniz Borges in his presentation at a colloquium on Portuguese-American Literature at Yale University.
