The Art of Reading: Stories and Poems

A collection of evocative stories, poems, and essays, this compendium combines subtle intellect with charming playfulness to present a fresh perspective on such universal themes as language, duality, and the origins of creativity. Evocative and enriching, these pieces—through topics such as a library map of time and a poet who never managed to write a word—offer a thoughtful and witty take on the Hispanic cultural experience of middle-class migration.
