description: The new fiction of America's young Latinos is as diverse as the writers themselves. Exciting stories by Cubans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, and others of Hispanic descent make this anthology a showcase for the craft and vision of new Latino writers north of the border, immigrant or American-born. From El Paso to Miami Beach, from Denver to Brooklyn, these authors are the best and most innovative talents emerging from the Hispanic community today. Some of them have made an overt break with the past, choosing to explore fictional universes. Others are determinedly realistic, portraying prejudice and loss of hope, street life and family violence. Still others remain political, describing the brutality that occurs in their homelands. The result is a collection filled with literature to enjoy, writing to savor, and art to excite our imaginations and expand our world.
