This review is from: Soy la Avon Lady and Other Stories (Paperback)
Lorraine Lopez's debut collection, Soy La Avon Lady, is even better than its title. The stories in this book illustrate the complexities of everyday life.This is a work that defies classification. It's obvious that Lopez takes a very serious approach to her characters-- mostly Chicanos living in New Mexico. However, these stories lack the stultifying weight common to fiction which strives for seriousness. The result is a compelling cast of characters who bring with them their own truth in its sadness, hillarity and the spectrum of human emotions dwelling in-between.

This review is from: Soy la Avon Lady and Other Stories (Paperback)
I chose Lopez's collection because it was a UC Irvine Chicana/o Literary Prize winner and now I know why: each story captured a different aspect of Chicana/o life so lyrically I wanted to eat the book
