It's Latine & Hispanic Heritage Month! This month

It's Latine & Hispanic Heritage Month! This month honors the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latine Americans as we celebrate heritage rooted in all Latin American countries. Each week, we will be shining a spotlight on different authors.

This week, Christine is recommending the book Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo.

"Deserted villages of rural Mexico, where images and memories of the past linger like unquiet ghosts, haunted the imaginations of the author. In one such village of the mind, Comala, he set his classic novel Pedro Páramo, a dream-like tale that intertwines a man's quest to find his lost father and reclaim his patrimony with the father's obsessive love for a woman who will not be possessed, Susana San Juan."
