Author Description

"In Mesa de contentos, two languages that represent two different cultures, which in themselves emit two powerful vibrations, sit down, dialogue, enrich and nourish each other. Spanish recovers what is most genuine from its oral tradition and English allows itself to be encroached upon by the twists and turns of this primary language whose presence is already inescapable in this "America of passion fruit and granadilla," outlined here with rhythm and plasticity, in a surprisingly lyrical and endearing way"--Mariela Dreyfus (from back cover).
