Silvia Campos, a frustrated housewife who kills birds with her eyes, conjures the light and darkness of spirit possession in this provocative story of smoking ancestors, memories of Cuba, and Afro-Caribbean magic. Moved by the power of a bewitched machete, she becomes obsessed with the prospect of killing her husband, Chiche, who she blames for the twenty (and counting) years of suffocating life in America. The shameless Cubanity of Southwest Miami serves as a backdrop for a thick, hearty plate of wive's tales, rumors, and jokes taking us back to Spain and the African Diaspora. Silvia's case captures the subtleties of religion's effect on delusions of influence, to the crossroads where witchcraft and insanity meet. Otro Dia is a Latin-American novel, highlighting the impression of Latin Literature on the emerging culture of 'First-Generation Spanglish', and is like every Cuban tale: boisterous, raw, exorbitant, and best over an espresso.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorenzo Ramos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Inspirited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615836799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLorenzo Ramos lives in the East San Francisco Bay Area near his family and his cat, Rajendranath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inspirited","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40424425488499,"sku":"9.78062E+12","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_de4c43ce-e530-4df3-9060-354273de2821.jpg?v=1662558170","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/otro-dia-an-ode-to-the-queen-of-cuba-9780615836799","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
