Litquake Book Recs A new feature in which we convince one of our favorite writers to recommend a must-read book...
José Vadi recommends Aura by Carlos Fuentes.
"Delivered entirely in the second person, this short early 60s novel from Carlos Fuentes explores multiple identities, how they are shaped by histories/past selves, and the nature of fate that brings the narrator, Felipe Montero, into the home an old widow and her niece, Aura, through a newspaper job posting. Moody and atmospheric, this is a nice short dose of trippy to keep you sane this holiday season."
Thanks, José! You can buy José Vadi's debut collection Inter State: Essays From California here (or at your local book store), and you can follow him on Twitter @vadiparty. |
