Description

Sensual, diverse, and electrifying, the first major collection of Latino erotica redefines our perceptions of Latin American and U.S. Latino writers. By turns suggestive and explicit, <em>Under the Pomegranate Tree</em> is woven within a framework of fantasies, dreams, and memory. Brought together from a wide-ranging group of contributors, the stories, essays, and poems in this rich anthology emerge as a vibrant force for breaking social barriers and capturing our collective imaginations. The themes are varied and colorful, from first sexual experiences to love with a stranger, from relationships without roots to heterosexual and homosexual love, from international politics to the new roles of Latino men and Latina women. The styles, from vivid storytelling to magical realism, mirror the historical, religious, and political influences that have shaped Latino writing for centuries. <small>from Google Books</small>
