Sudden Fiction Latino by Robert Shapard
In Julio Ortega's Migrations, a Peruvian writer explores how immigrant speech and ethnic origins are a force of meaning that evolves beyond language. In Hair, by Hilma Contreras, a Caribbean pharmacist is driven mad by a young woman's luxuriant tresses. These stories stretch from gritty reality to the fantastical in a mix that is moving, challenging, humorous, artful, sometimes political, and altogether spectacular.
Robert Shapard directed the University of Hawaii MFA program and now lives in Austin, Texas. James Thomas, coeditor of all the Flash Fiction anthologies, lives in Xenia, Ohio. Ray Gonzalez is one of America’s foremost authors, scholars, and editors in Latino literature. Luisa Valenzuela was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1938.
