Slander
ISBN: 9780803279636 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Like author Linda Le, the young woman who narrates this novel is from Vietnam and is a writer, a "dirty foreigner writing in French." The narrator has distanced herself not only from Vietnamese society but also from her family. Her story is an exercise in clear-eyed fury revealing three generations of a cursed family. The grandfather was a lunatic the family locked away and declared dead to avoid shame; the father is a failed artist and humiliated cuckold; the mother is a simpering beauty consumed with lust; the uncle is declared insane because of his incestuous love for his sister, who...

Dancing with Cuba: A Memoir of the Revolution
ISBN: 9780375725814 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1970 a young dancer named Alma Guillermoprieto left New York to take a job teaching at Cuba s National School of Dance.

Yet in the midst of chronic shortages and revolutionary upheaval, Guillermoprieto found in Cuba a people whose sense of purpose touched her forever.
In this electrifying memoir, Guillermoprieto now an award-winning journalist and arguably one of our finest writers on Latin America resurrects a time...

Bad Nature, or With Elvis in Mexico
ISBN: 9780811218580 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It all happened because of Elvis Presley. Elvis, down south of the border to film a movie, has insisted his producers hire a proper Spaniard so that he can pronounce his few lines in Spanish with a Castillian accent. But Ruiberriz has taken on much more than he bargained for. One fatal night, horseplay in a local bar goes too far: a fatuous drunken American insults the local kingpin, and when the thug insists that Ruiberriz translate, Elvis himself adds an even more stinging comment and who must translate that?"
