The Iguana Speaks My Name by master storyteller Roberto Moulun comprises the title novella plus ten short stories, all in the genre of magical realism popularized by Isabel Allende and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Moulun captures life in the villages of Guatemala during a time of civil war through his unforgettable characters. Whether they be doctors, spies, whores or charming gypsies, their beauty and their lives enthrall all us.
The Dark Side of the Dream, Alejandro Grattan-Dominguez’s highly-acclaimed historical novel, is a riveting story of Mexican immigration and focuses on two brothers who migrated to Texas shortly after the USA entered WWII. It depicts the struggles of their families as they come to grips with a new, often hostile environment. The paperback and Kindle versions include a historical preface, plus an epilogue that follows the Salazar family to California where a new generation of the family at last succeeds in fulfilling the dream of enriching their lives in a soul-satisfying way.
