Lengua Fresca: Latinos Writing on the Edge
"This eclectic mix of writing -- fiction, journalism, essays, comics -- showcases Latino life in America."  The Chicago Sun-Times"The pieces selected in this anthology take on the intermingling of tongues, the fluidity of borders and the moments where public and private rub up against each other. . . The writing, true to the anthology's title, tries to keep the conversation fresh, relishing very unexpected turns." The San Francisco Chronicle"Avant-garde literature from a new generation of Latinos. . . .[Co-editors Augenbraum and Stavans] begin their book with excerpts from their lively correspondence concerning what is and who is Latino. . . .Each entry is unique."
