Writer Karla Cornejo Villavicencio was on DACA when she decided to write about being undocumented for the first time using her own name. It was right after the election of 2016, the day she realized the story she'd tried to steer clear of was the only one she wanted to tell. So she wrote her immigration lawyer's phone number on her hand in Sharpie and embarked on a trip across the country to tell the stories of her fellow undocumented immigrants—and to find the hidden key to her own.

The Appalachians cross with city life
Revisado: 01-12-24
After reading Max Fraser’s hillbilly Highway, I began to be read Eudora Welty. Her voice is placed in these byways and reflects those moments.

His students’ stories are testimony to his legacy
Revisado: 12-13-23
Despite the occupation authorities painting Rafaat Alareer as a so-called terrorist, these stories written by his students, reflect the reality of Gaza. Their voices will tell the story into the future, now that his life is lost to us.

When a high school student started a private Instagram account that used racist and sexist memes to make his friends laugh, he thought of it as “edgy” humor. Over time, the edge got sharper. Then a few other kids found out about the account. Pretty soon, everyone knew. Ultimately no one in the small town of Albany, California, was safe from the repercussions of the account’s discovery. Not the girls targeted by the posts. Not the boy who created the account. Not the group of kids who followed it. Not the adults—educators and parents—whose attempts to fix things too often made them worse.

Deep dive in youth culture and the crushing impact of racism and racist memes
Revisado: 09-14-23
This book is an incredibly thoughtful and introspective investigation into the follies of youth culture online, and the deeply destructive effects of racism and racist memes. Also, it’s a story of how adults attempted to intervene and failed miserably to manage reconciliation. And the story of how these high school students moved on.

Among the most celebrated and beloved novels of 2021, Anthony Doerr’s gorgeous third novel is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope—and a book. In Cloud Cuckoo Land, Doerr has created a magnificent tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness—with other species, with each other, with those who lived before us, and with those who will be here after we’re gone.

This book requires a patient and diligent reader to allow the book to take shape
Revisado: 02-27-23
This seemingly disjointed narrative is a reminder of texts brought down to us thru vast historical chance. Its chronology is disrupted by the haphazard attempts to save old manuscripts—sometimes disassembled to salvage severely damaged, waterlogged velum books and reassembled incorrectly. The bizarre chronology that Doerr employs is both a nod to a fractured antiquity and the unknowability of our current experience.
His work is steeped in multi-century historical reflection, present dystopia (climate collapse and misguided amateur terrorism to stop its development and habitat destruction) and a future (sci-fi) attempt to reach habitable planets light years away. The thru story is the ancient text of Antonius Diogenes, a tale of transfiguration of man to donkey to fish to crow that succors the ill and distracts the suffering of mortals. A tale of a man who dreams of a land with infinite abundance and steams abounding in chicken broth. His ultimate final wish? Going home.
A story of an American POW in the Korean War and his deep attachment to an English man, who together scratched Greek translations into the soil in prisoners-of-war camps. They are lost to one another just as texts and narratives are lost to history. Their friendship is finally reunited decades later and rekindle a light in the American’s (Zeno’s) desire to translate ancient hitherto unknown texts. The Brit lives his true life with a man named Hillary in London, a lifestyle unthinkable (virtually unimaginable) in Idaho. Zeno’s final act is heroic and final.
Meanwhile the centuries-old hidden text provides a glimpse into present reality in a world of artificial intelligence in 2164–A century advanced from ours. The ancient text is so revelatory that a girl child born on a space craft can imagine her liberation from space-time and capsule-incarceration dares a new liberation, despite the sureness of death and destruction.
Definitely worth the patience to delve into the power of stories and their impact on current narratives about the lives we live today, yesterday and tomorrow.

Goes much deeper than the Jan 6 Hearings
Revisado: 01-11-23
I watched the hearings and read press about them as they occurred. But this report goes well beyond what the hearings had time to tell. The further details only deepen my conviction that foul players and illegal actors, (fundraising under false pretext), knowingly ran a scam on America. The lie appears as one huge fundraising scam to advance his whacked agenda. Presumably, so is his bid for the Presidency again. But we should still work like crazy to prevent another White Knight from sitting in the Oval Office.
