Latinos in Lotusland: An Anthology of Contemporary Southern California Literature

Latinos in Lotusland: An Anthology of Contemporary Southern California Literature Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Latinos in Lotusland brings to life Latino denizens of Los Angeles and the city's surrounding communities. The stories describe complex, diverse characters: young and old, gay and straight, rich and poor. Meet a Cuban-American screenwriter trying to pitch the "real" story behind the Bay of Pigs fiasco, a Mexican woman who believes she's seen a miracle, youths trying to avoid gang life while others embrace it, and many others.
