In \u003ci\u003eBordering Fires\u003c\/i\u003e, the first anthology to combine writing from both sides of the Mexican-U.S. border, Cristina García presents a richly diverse cross-cultural conversation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Beginning with Mexican masters such as Alfonso  Reyes and Juan Rulfo, García highlights historic voices such as “the godfather of  Chicano literature” Rudolfo Anaya, and Gloria Anzaldœa, who made a powerful case  for language that reflects bicultural experience. From the fierce evocations of Chicano  reality in Jimmy Santiago Baca’s Poem IX to the breathtaking images of identity in  Coral Bracho’s poem “Fish of Fleeting Skin,” from the work of Carlos Fuentes to Sandra  Cisneros, Ana Castillo to Octavio Paz, this landmark collection of fiction, essays,  and poetry offers an exhilarating new vantage point on our continent–and on the best  of contemporary literature.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43412824555775,"sku":"9781400077182","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781400077182_s600x595.jpg?v=1776096088","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781400077182","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
