I love it when it takes me a while to figure out whether the protagonist of a story is male or female, which happened a lot with Mr. Tenorio. To top it off, I thought Mr. Tenorio was Ms. Tenorio until I looked at his picture. ( ) This is the 2014 One Book, One San Diego winner - a community reading program sponsored by the San Diego Public Library and KPBS. I will have it read before reading events kick off in October. Stay tuned for my thoughts. __________________________________ Update: I have read it. I very much enjoyed it. I am going to the One Book, One San Diego kick off on October 13 where to author will be in attendance. I am going to hold off on writing anything further until after that time. Cheers!
“. . . that the author takes this niche subject and makes from it a tale with universal appeal is proof that Lysley Tenorio is a major new literary talent. . . . While there is room for growth for future tales and future volumes, Monstress packs enough literary heat to excite even the most winter ravaged among us. It is highly recommended.” AwardsDistinctions
This heartrending, funny and utterly original collection of stories, exploring the clash and meld of American and Filipino culture, centers around the sometimes suffocating ties of family, the melancholy of isolation and the need to find connections. No library descriptions found. |
