MAYRA CALVANI

women writers
CLICK HERE FOR EXCERPT
As the Hispanic American population of the U.S. increases, with
influences ranging from Mexico to Central America and the Caribbean, so does
interest in literature inspired by those cultures.
Award-winning author Mayra Calvani has now edited a collection
of interviews with 40 Latina authors living in the U.S. and writing in English.
Latina Authors and Their Muses is an inspirational and
informative book focusing on the craft of writing and the business of
publishing, one that provides aspiring writers with the nuts and bolts of the
business.
“I had the opportunity to meet Carmen Dolores Hernandez, book
review editor at El Nuevo Día
newspaper in San Juan, Puerto Rico, when she visited me in Brussels,” says Calvani. “She’d published some of my short stories and novel excerpts in Revista
Domingo in the past, and I deeply admired her wisdom as a writer and
woman of letters.
“She mentioned the anthology she had put
together back in 1997, Puerto Rican Voices in English. I ordered a copy
and became absorbed by the candor and insight of the authors as they talked
about their backgrounds, books, and writing,” Calvani continues.
“Wouldn’t it be
perfect to put together a similar anthology showcasing Latina authors writing
in English in the United States? This book would not only showcase prominent
figures but emerging voices as well, writers working on a wide range of genres
from the literary to the commercial.”

A DECENT WOMAN
A Decent Woman by Eleanor Parker Sapia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A Decent Woman is historical, folkloric, transformative book. The storyline is clever and smart, simply put a fabulous story. Where there is suffering, poverty and hardship with beautiful writing the book sheds light and hope. The writing is indeed so beautiful that I found myself re-reading some sentences because they impacted me so. In the face of suffering friends support each other in a most loving way.
The book addresses hard subjects and I fact checked, this is an impressively researched piece, weaving in the historical data makes the story real and palpable. I found particularly interesting how clever the wide variety of characters who ranged in such a wide spectrum of the socio-economic strata developed; Complex characters full of depth that allowed for the story to surprise me as a reader.
The folklore both from the Caribbean and Africa was fascinating. I felt it gave added depth to the characters, especially Ana. The secrets of her past unravel in a clever way; this book is well written, clever and as with fantastic fiction very believable.
I have only visited Puerto Rico once years ago, this book made me long to make the next visit soon targeting history and folklore.
