FINALISTA DEL NATIONAL BOOK AWARD

Una inquietante colecci?n de relatos que habla sobre la amistad, sobre madres e hijas, y las profundas verdades arraigadas de nuestras tierras natales. Este debut de historias se centra en latinas de ascendencia ind?gena que arrojan una nueva luz sobre el oeste americano.

La magn?tica colecci?n de relatos de Kali Fajardo-Anstine da vida a sus personajes de latinas ind?genas y a la tierra que habitan. Ambientadas en el maravilloso escenario de Denver, Colorado, un lugar tan feroz como exquisito, estas mujeres navegan la tierra de la misma manera que navegan sus vidas: con cautela, gracia y una fuerza silenciosa.

En el cuento "Sugar Babies", la ascendencia y el patrimonio est?n ocultos en la tierra, pero tienden a resurgir durante las disputas territoriales. En "M?s All? del Oeste" seguimos a una trabajadora sexual y a su hija al dejar su hogar ancestral en el sur de Colorado solo para encontrar una tierra hostil y extra?a en California. En "Tomi", una mujer regresa a casa despu?s de haber estado en la prisi?n, y encuentra una ciudad gentrificada que es solo una sombra de la que recuerda de su infancia. Y en el relato que da t?tulo al libro, "Sabrina & Corina", una familia de Denver cae en un ciclo de violencia contra las mujeres, uni?ndose solo a trav?s de rituales.

Sabrina & Corina es una conmovedora narrativa de inquebrantable poder femenino y una exploraci?n de las experiencias universales del abandono, del patrimonio y de un sentido eterno de hogar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST

A haunting debut story collection on friendship, mothers and daughters, and the deep-rooted truths of our homelands, centered on Latinas of indigenous descent that shines a new light on the American West.

Kali Fajardo-Anstine's magnetic story collection breathes life into her Indigenous Latina characters and the land they inhabit. Set against the remarkable backdrop of Denver, Colorado--a place that is as fierce as it is exquisite--these women navigate the land the way they navigate their lives: with caution, grace, and quiet force.

In "Sugar Babies," ancestry and heritage are hidden inside the earth, but have the tendency to ascend during land disputes. "Any Further West" follows a sex worker and her daughter as they leave their ancestral home in southern Colorado only to find a foreign and hostile land in California. In "Tomi," a woman returns home from prison, finding herself in a gentrified city that is a shadow of the one she remembers from her childhood. And in the title story, "Sabrina & Corina," a Denver family falls into a cycle of violence against women, coming together only through ritual.

Sabrina & Corina is a moving narrative of unrelenting feminine power and an exploration of the universal experiences of abandonment, heritage, and an eternal sense of home.
