Book Description
Skin is a coming-of-age collection by a New York writer, Racquel Goodison. It deals with Sophia, a young girl, and her life in the West Indies and the United States. Sophia is determined as child, teen, and adult to individuate herself from who her family and her society believe that she is or should be based on ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality. In these stories, Goodison paints a complex portrait of beauty, discovery, self-love and self-acceptance. And once Sophia crosses water and land, literally, to finally cross her own internal landscape, figuratively, we all stop "running for cover".

I the Supreme
Author: Augusto Roa Bastos
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1984898140
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
I the Supreme imagines a dialogue between the nineteenth-century Paraguayan dictator known as Dr. Francia and Policarpo Patiño, his secretary and only companion. The opening pages present a sign that they had found nailed to the wall of a cathedral, purportedly written by Dr. Francia himself and ordering the execution of all of his servants upon his death. This sign is quickly revealed to be a forgery, which takes leader and secretary into a larger discussion about the nature of truth: “In the light of what Your Eminence says, even the truth appears to be a lie.” Their conversation broadens into an epic journey of the mind, stretching across the colonial history of their nation, filled with surrealist imagery, labyrinthine turns, and footnotes supplied by a mysterious “compiler.” A towering achievement from a foundational author of modern Latin American literature, I the Supreme is a darkly comic, deeply moving meditation on power and its abuse—and on the role of language in making and unmaking whole worlds.
