The Mixquiahuala Letters

by Ana Castillo

The Mixquiahuala Letters Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Focusing on the relationship between two fiercely independent women — Teresa, a writer, and Alicia, an artist — this epistolary novel was written as a tribute to Julio Cortazar's Hopscotch and examines Latina forms of love, gender conflict, and female friendship. Ana Castillo's groundbreaking first novel, The Mixquiahuala Letters, received an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation and is widely studied as a feminist text on the nature of self-conflict.

Review:

"A wonderful, wonderful book."
-Maxine Hong Kingston

Review:

"Like a disciplined athlete, Castillo makes even the most difficult moves look easy." --San Francisco Chronicle
