Fiction. "A complex tapestry of short, brilliantly written vignettes, THE CELESTIAL MONSTER, by Juana Culhane, is the journey of one woman's life recalled in flash points in time. Never one to whitewash or revise her past, Joanna, in old age, rummages unsentimentally through a maelstrom of memories--some still raw and disturbing--that begin with her childhood in Guatemala then meander through the decades, chronicling, in rich, vibrant detail, the unique events that shaped her personal rites of passage. Growing up, growingold, life, death and love all collide, often with wrenching consequences, but in the end, these stories merge into a quiet meditation of forgiveness and self-acceptance. Original and unforgettable"--Judie Wolkoff.
