"Beatniks, Tupperware, and Chiles en Nogada" by Robert de Paola has been released worldwide. This 336-page memoir, which has achieved bestseller status in Amazon's Hispanic & Latino and Immigration categories, is a broad, autobiographical work that is part travelogue, part character study, and throughout, a vibrant celebration of the human experience.Following the author's early life moving from place to place and surrogate parent to surrogate parent (including a commune of Beatniks), through collegiate and graduate experiences in New York, California, and Pennsylvania, into an adult life of academia, entrepreneurship, and adventure, a return to Mexico, and ultimately, parenthood, Robert's journey is filled with interesting characters and hard-won life lessons.After discovering he had a younger sister in his late 60s, Robert was inspired to tell his life story and share the insights gained from an unconventional upbringing. Throughout the novel-like narrative, letters written to Alessia (the author's sister) serve as summaries of different periods of his life. The surrounding chapters are rich with dialogue that bring the myriad characters to life, and throughout the book, readers learn valuable lessons alongside the author as the story of his life progresses. Through his story, de Paola reminds us to seek the richness of life each and every day, to learn from cultures different than our own, to immerse ourselves in music and art, to never stop learning, and to take charge of our own journey. This book sees the goodness in people, embraces differences, and emphasizes the importance of relationships with family and friends. As readers accompany Robert from his youth to adulthood, they'll see the value of moments small and large, and be inspired to reflect on their own lives to find the good things that make life worth living.Beatniks, Tupperware, and Chiles en Nogada (ISBN: 9798986295367) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Barnes and Noble and Amazon.
