Pre-Owned Soy la Avon Lady and Other Stories (Paperback) 9781880684863

Soy la Avon Lady and Other Stories, is a stunning debut collection of short stories that explore identity issues in the Latino community. Many of the characters in these stories must negotiate differences in race, culture, language, class, and gender in attempts to discover who they are and where they are going. López's vivid characters struggle both to find a place of belonging and companions who can accept them, as well as self-forgiveness for the compromises they make in living necessarily bifurcated lives, as they attempt to bridge the gap between cultures.
