San Juan by Edgardo Rodriguez Julia
Takes the readers through Puerto Rico's capital, the city, which is a place of cabarets and cockfighting clubs, flaneurs and beach bums, smoke-filled bars and honking automobiles. Here, the author invokes the ghosts of his childhood, of San Juan's elder literati, and of characters from his own novels.
Edgardo Rodriguez Julia teaches literature and creative writing at the University of Puerto Rico. Among his many books are La renuncia del heroe Baltasar (1974, translated into English in 1997 as The Renunciation), El entierro de Cortijo (1983, published in a bilingual edition in 2004 as Cortijo's Wake), La noche oscura del Nino Aviles (1984), and Sol de medianoche (1999). Peter Grandbois is assistant professor of English at California State University, Sacramento.
