![]() ![]() For a cathartic/good time pair Genesis (book 1) with anything by John Trudell & Louise Erdrich, the 1491's work, and Reservation Dogs (on Hulu).Įduardo Galeano (1940-2015) was one of Latin America's most distinguished writers. Galeano's trilogy weaves Latinx diaspora and critical global history through deeply moving vignettes of colonization and ongoing indigenous resistance. the ending of the first volume is one of very few passages i've ever read that brought me to tears can't recommend these highly enough. Galeano's passion, sense of poetic synchronicity, and willingness to flirt with an almost magical-realist sensibility, makes this work beautiful and heartbreaking and reads as if Gabriel Garcia Marquez was being channeled by Howard Zinn. much more than just a dry documentation of historic incidents. here at Skylight we shelve these books in the fiction section to highlight how the quality of the writing and structure make Memory. ![]() Galeano's Memory of Fire trilogy ( Genesis being the first volume) is a masterpiece of Latin American literature although it's actually a fully researched history of the 'New World' with a full bibliography. ![]()
