Most recently, the town was released from a curse that kept La Llorona, the wailing woman, haunting the shores of their river. But just when the townsfolk were preparing to return to sunny riverside picnics and barbecues, the children of Tres Leches mysteriously began to go missing. The town suspects another monstruo, the Dancing Devil, is luring kids to El Camarón Dance Hall & Arcade. The Dancing Devil’s son, Rooster, who has a foot in both the human and monster worlds, feels compelled to lead the search for the missing children with the help of his friends, Ava (the daughter of La Lechuza) and Felice (the daughter of La Llorona). Their journey takes them to an old gothic mansion with a twisted family history and a pull so powerful that it’s nearly impossible to resist.   Picking up where Felice and the Wailing Woman left off, Rooster and the Dancing Diablo brims with magic, adventure, and Mexican folklore, and is perfect for fans of fantasy adventure series like Paola Santiago by Tehlor Kay Mejia and the Jumbies by Tracey Baptiste.

US-karibische Diasporaliteraturen der 2000er-Jahre konstituieren soziale Räume als Diasporaräume. An den literarischen Raumproduktionen in Werken von Ernesto Quiñónez, Achy Obejas, Edwidge Danticat und Junot Díaz lässt sich erkennen, so eine zentrale These, wie diese Literaturen im Spagat sich selbst, ihre Verfasserinnen und Verfasser sowie ihre ethnischen Gemeinschaften zwischen den USA und der Karibik verorten. Texte wie Bodega Dreams, Days of Awe, The Dew Breaker und The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao positionieren sich über ihre Erzählräume und erzählten Räume, ihre Raumsemantik und ihre Intertextualität im Spannungsfeld von De- und Reterritorialisierung. Sie setzen sich mit der Geschichte ihrer karibischen «Herkunftsländer» (Puerto Rico, Kuba, Haiti, Dominikanische Republik) und ihrer ethnischen Gruppen in den USA auseinander. Sie verhandeln, wie diese Geschichte aus der Perspektive der Postmemoria-Generation aufzuarbeiten ist, wie diese Perspektive das «Ursprungsland» erst als erlebt-erlittenen Raum produziert und in welchem Verhältnis im Heimatland verbliebene und in der Diaspora lebende Subjekte zueinanderstehen. Die Studie erarbeitet entlang der Leitkategorien von De- und Reterritorialisierung und in Verbindung mit Henri Lefebvres phänomenologischem Raumbegriff, Erkenntnissen aus Diaspora-, Intersektionalitäts-, Kolonialitäts- und Erzählforschung einen ausdifferenzierten und vielfach anschlussfähigen theoretischen Zugang zu postkolonialen literarischen Räumen. Durch ihre kulturwissenschaftliche Fundierung in einer plurilingualen Karibikforschung und gleichzeitig romanistische Ausrichtung eröffnet die Monographie neue Perspektiven auf das Phänomen der zeitgenössischen hispanokaribischen und haitianischen ethnischen Literaturen in der USA.

"Talking brushstrokes are words drawn in the soul of a Puerto Rican poet, it is a written canvas in which love, heartbreak, desires, disappointments, reality, fantasy and grief are captured. It is a reflection of blows that teach and kisses that poison, it is simply poetry in the voice of a Puerto Rican poet who today is part of the diaspora who paints verses of an island woman in words"--

David Rosenmann-Taub: Poems and Commentaries breaks with conventional norms. Until now, nobody has undertaken a commented anthology of the poems of Rosenmann-Taub except for the poet himself. In addition, although the Chilean poet has been publishing for seventy years, a broad understanding of his thematic preoccupations is still lacking. After formulating interpretative strategies to understand the poems, Kenneth Gorfkle developed his own approach to the expression and communication of that understanding: glosses that paraphrase the poems and thus express the totality of their substance. His selection of poems that illustrate the poet's concerns give the reader a broad general vision of Rosenmann-Taub's thought, as well. Comprised of forty-four poems, each with its own gloss, the book is a tour de force for enthusiasts of Rosenmann-Taub's work, academics dedicated to poetry at all levels, and poetry lovers in general. This revised edition represents a reformulation and refinement of the concepts of the commentaries in the first edition.

David Rosenmann-Taub: poemas y comentarios rompe con los esquemas convencionales. Hasta ahora, salvo el poeta mismo, nadie ha emprendido una antologia comentada de los poemas de Rosenmann-Taub. Ademas, aunque el poeta chileno ha publicado por setenta anos, todavia falta un amplio entendimiento de sus preocupaciones tematicas. Al formular estrategias interpretativas para entender los poemas, Kenneth Gorfkle desarrollo su propio acercamiento a la expresion y comunicacion de ese entendimiento: glosas que parafrasean el poema y asi expresan la plenitud de su contenido. Su seleccion de poemas, que ilustran varias de las preocupaciones del poeta, dara al lector una amplia vision de su pensamiento. Compuesto de cuarenta y cuatro poemas, cada uno con su propia glosa, el libro es una proeza para los aficionados de Rosenmann-Taub, asi como para academicos a todos los niveles y entusiastas de poesia en general. Esta edicion revisada representa una reformulacion y refinamiento de los conceptos de los comentarios en la primera edicion.
