Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand by Gioconda Belli

Ingenious. --Vogue Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand takes on nothing less than the creation myth of Western culture. --Salman Rushdie The winner of the prestigious 2008 Biblioteca Breve Prize--joining such renowned Latin American luminaries as Mario Vargas Llosa and Carlos Fuentes--acclaimed poet and novelist Gioconda Belli's Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand is a wholly creative and original re-imagining of the story of Adam and Eve and original sin. In a brilliant translation by Margaret Sayers Peyden, this remarkable new look at the Book of Genesis will appeal to readers of the novels of Isabel Allende, Anne Rice's Jesus Chronicles, and to all lovers of great imaginative literature.

She took involved in various logistical activities throughout her exile. She held official roles when Somoza was deposed and the Sandinistas took control, but she abandoned her political responsibilities in 1986 to pursue a career as a full-time writer. She spends time in both Managua and Los Angeles.
