High Spirits - Camille Gomera-Tavarez - Bog

"A collection of eleven interconnected short stories from the Dominican diaspora from debut author Camille Gomera-Tavarez. It is a book centered on one extended family--the Belâens--across multiple generations, ... set in the fictional small town of Hidalpa--and Santo Domingo and Paterson and San Juan and Washington Heights, too ... Told in a style both utterly real and distinctly magical, ... its stories explore machismo, mental health, family, and identity"--Provided by publisher.
