5.0 out of 5 stars
a great introduction by professor Elizabeth Martinez,
By A customer "intellectually oriented" (California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lilus Kikus and Other Stories (Paperback)
Aside from Lilus Kikus being a great novel by prominent Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska, professor Elizabeth Coonrod Martinez does a maginificent job introduccing the English reader to Poniatowska and the history and impact of Lilus Kikus in her introduction. The introduction itself is a facinating read to anybody interested in Elena and her history as a writer. I strongly recommend this book not only because it is Poniatowska's first novel and because of course it was written by her, but also because Martinez' introduction does justice to Lilus Kikus and teaches us the preconceived notions that a society had about this novel. As if this wasn't enough reasons, the English reader too gets introduced wisely into Poniatowska's novel and her work as a prominent and outstanding writer. I strongly recommend this novel to any English-reader!
