Hecho En Tejas / Made in Texas | We Should All Be Feminists | Men Explain Things to Me | The Empathy Exams
Winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award, Dagoberto Gilb is one of todayâs most captivating and provocative fiction writers. Now Gilb offers a collection of essays that brilliantly portrays an artist working to earn respectâand find his placeâas a Mexican-American in the literary world and the world at large, to say nothing of his singular and beloved borderland of Texas.
"Gritos" are the exuberant cries in Mexican songs, and Gilbâs essays are charged with the same urgency, sincerity, and musicality. In a controversial piece for Harperâs, he travels to the land of his mother, where Cortes first met Malinche. In "Mi Mommy," published in The New Yorker, he tackles the myths surrounding Mexican woman, and in "Me Macho, You Jane," those surrounding men like himself. In his pieces written for NPRâs "Fresh Air," he engages the reader with scenes as vividly rendered as they are funny, intimate, and sometimes devastating. Like his fiction, Gritos is a riveting glimpse into the heart and mind of a passionate and idiosyncratic thinker.
About: Essays touch on the subjects of cockfighting, fatherhood, and Texas from this Mexican-American writers point of view.
