Many thanks to authors Mirta Ojito & Alejandra Martinez for joining Las Comadres & Friends Book Club to discuss their latest novels. #ReadLatinoLit #LatinosDownUnder
Author Alejandra Martinez explores universal themes of identity, family & mental illness in her debut novel. The scenes were difficult to write but also healing she admits. #ReadLatinoLit #LatinosDownUnder #booksky
Alejandra Martínez’ novel sold because of the romance between seniors, between a Latino and an aborigine. Not because it was a Latino story. The story started as a short play but over the years became a full novel. #ReadLatinoLit #LatinosDownUnder #booksky
This is the first book about Latinos in Australia. It took Alejandra Martinez decades to publish, because no one was publishing Latino stories there. She worked on it on & off for years until finally a publisher was interested. #ReadLatinoLit #LatinosDownUnder #booksky
Chatting with Uruguayan author @AlejandraMartinez from down under. She chatted w/ Las Comadres & Friends Book Club from her home in Australia. #ReadLatinoLit #LatinosDownUnder #booksky
Author @MirtaOjito works & sometimes doesn’t have time to sit down & write. In those times, she stays involved with her book by thinking of it & making notes to herself. She is a sponge of stories from her job, reading & life. She puts all that into her books. #ReadLatinoLit #booksky
Author Mirta Ojito admits that research can often times surprise her & add new element that enriches her story. Like the silk worms in Deeper than the Ocean. #ReadLatinoLit
Deeper than the Ocean by @MirtaOjito is loosely based on the sinking of the Spanish ship Valbanera, considered the “poor man’s Titanic.” Ship carried refugees from Spain to the Caribbean and sank off coast of Cuba in storm. #ReadLatinoLit #booksky
Author Mirta Ojito believes in generational trauma, in memories carried in our DNA. She carries her ancestors stories within her and they are expressed through her writing. Family ties are deeper than the ocean. #ReadLatinoLit #booksky
This was a personal book for @MirtaOjito as it was based on her mother’s story of leaving Cuba during Mariel Boatlift and starting anew in US. #ReadLatinoLit #booksky
Chatting with author @MirtaOjito about her book Deeper than the Ocean. #ReadLatinoLit #booksky
