Crush Me / Ría Brava
"In Crush Me / Ría Brava, f.l.Crank writes from the perspective of an immigrant woman, a worker who cleans the house of a wealthy Anglo woman in the United States. The sparse prose and dreamlike qualities of the narrator’s language encourage us to read this story as that of both a singular person and a representative of a larger mass of immigrant workers. Indeed our protagonist only names herself once and by the end of the narrative seems poised to disintegrate to an even more abstract version of herself. We may read this novel, as we are asked to understand it, as a broken one, a set of jagged pieces that together offer a portrait of gendered labor in a foreign land.” -Ariana Vigil, Ph.D.
Space
BE PREPARED, BECAUSE YOU JUST NEVER KNOW... Forced to join a gang to gain the attention of parents who could care less, 15-year-old Brava Hernandez fended for herself in the heart of East Los Angeles, 2219.

He hired her as his assistant and she set off on a real space adventure! Come aboard as Brava learns the ins and outs of her ship, the Oikeudenmukaisuus, the Finnish word for Justice, and meets new friends.
