The Cemetery of Untold Stories
Author: Julia Alvarez
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1643756060
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Literary icon Julia Alvarez, bestselling author of In the Time of the Butterflies shares an inventive and emotional novel about storytelling and her homeland of the Dominican Republic. Alma Cruz, the celebrated writer at the heart of The Cemetery of Untold Stories, doesn’t want to end up like her friend, a novelist who fought so long and hard to finish a book that it threatened her sanity. So when Alma inherits a small plot of land in the Dominican Republic, her homeland, she has the beautiful idea of turning it into a place to bury her untold stories—literally. She creates a graveyard for the manuscript drafts and revisions, and the characters whose lives she tried and failed to bring to life and who still haunt her. Alma wants her characters to rest in peace. But they have other ideas, and the cemetery becomes a mysterious sanctuary for their true narratives. Filomena, a local woman hired as the groundskeeper, becomes a sympathetic listener as Alma’s characters unspool their secret tales. Among them: Bienvenida, the abandoned second wife of dictator Rafael Trujillo, consigned to oblivion by history, and Manuel Cruz, a doctor who fought in the Dominican underground and escaped to the United States. The characters defy their author: they talk back to her and talk to one another behind her back, rewriting and revising themselves. The Cemetery of Untold Stories asks: Whose stories get to be told, and whose buried? Finally, Alma finds the meaning she and her characters yearn for in the everlasting vitality of stories. Alvarez’s extraordinary novel reminds us that the stories of our lives are never truly finished, even at the end.

Beyond This Vale of Tears
Author: Maximo Gomez y Espinoza
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595328423
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
The decades after his migration from Cuba in October of 1962 had helped to block out the horrific realities of the revolution, but not the sadness and unrest he still experienced. From childhood and through his adult life, Maximo Gomez questioned what his life was meant for, and not receiving an answer, he found peace only in retreat and solitude. In September of 1997, as he grieved his father's death, he received an otherworldly commission from his ancestors to pen down his family's history. A story that would span almost one hundred years, forcing him to relive the anguish and despair of every generation he uncovered. During his quest, Maximo Gomez returned to Cuba, wrote letters to the Vatican and genealogical societies in Spain. Curiously, and yet cautiously, the author moved through a maze of politics, affluence, betrayal, death and privation that he later came to recognize as a journey of rediscovery. In this dramatized, often funny historical fiction, Max Gomez puts his phantoms to rest, finding the door of reconciliation between his future and his past.
