Margarita, how Beautiful the Sea
Len, Nicaragua, 1907. During a tribute he delivers during his triumphal return to his native city, Rubn Daro writes on the fan of a little girl one of his most famous poems, "Margarita, How Beautiful the Sea." In 1956 in a cafe in Len, a group of literati gather, dedicated, among other things, to the rigorous reconstruction of the legend surrounding Daro-but also to conspire. There will be an attempt against dictator Somoza's life, and that little girl with the fan a half-century before will not be a disinterested party. In Margarita, How Beautiful the Sea , Sergio Ramrez encompasses, in a complete metaphor of reality and legend, the entire history of his country. The narrative moves along p...
On the Rocks
On the Rocks is the story of my journey through the death of my marriage, and the days, weeks and years that led up to to the hot summer day when my husband announced that he wanted a divorce. From the outside, it looked like we had it all: happy, healthy kids, successful careers, a beautiful home in the country, cars and toys and travel. On the inside, we had physical and emotional abuse, addiction to alcohol, little lies and bigger ones, and an affair that shattered whatever trust I even had left. In the end, I learned the hard way that we can't trust anyone else until we learn to trust ourselves, and the voice that speaks inside all of us. "You did such a good job of conveying how you were feeling. I think a lot of women will be able to relate and I think it can also help other women who will be nodding their heads, saying “Amen” while reading it! LOVE! ‘A real father would not watch his wife leave her children when he should have been the one to go.’ I found myself saying out loud and in tears, “So true!” - J.M.

Freeze My Margarita
The life and death hunt for a notorious Nazi criminal unfolds against a background of international arms deals. As the story leads to its final dramatic confrontation on a bleak winter's hill-top, the question every reader asked at the end of The Day of the Jackal will inevitably be asked again: "Can this be fiction?"
Margarita's Millions
Margarita Dominguez sat across the table from rookie producer Benjamin Irish in a restaurant in The Bronx and said "I want to be in your movies Ben... I want to be the greatest actress ever." Just months later they had completed a gritty pilot for Showtime Television, a six billion dollar entertainment powerhouse. Their fast-track rise to the top in an industry where success is daunting would result in Irish negotiating a $2.6 million dollar contract for Margarita, a historic sum for an unknown actress but... It was all just a scam. Showtime had developed a business model meant to sell to the actors, and acquire intellectual property for fractional sums. For almost twenty years the network w...
Flaming Margarita
The story of Paterson Curse grabs you by the scruff of the neck and drags you through a hedge backwards. And that's just for starters. Absurd, gritty, heartrending and vividly told, the story romps through childhood in colonial Africa, staggers through teenage Dublin, and collapses in antipodean middle life crisis - before finally getting its shit together and soaring into new life, love, and the tender mercies of a Western Sydney proctologist. Paterson's life, from meeting Swazi King Sobhuza II and his sixty wives, churns through the turbulence of African independence and is sweetened at last by the taste of monkey jerky on the pristine beaches of pre-war Mozambique. Teenage years in New Wave Dublin, and adulthood of sorts, spiced with Pan fried chili catfish savoured in the claustrophobic backstreets of New Orleans, merge into the agoraphobic vastness of outback Australia. Gripping and raw, we are taken on a whirlwind journey: tragic and absurd but always compelling.
Me, Margarita
Short stories about men and women, love and hate, sex and disappointment, cynicism and hope--perhaps unique in that none of the stories reveal the time or place in they occur: the world is too small now for it to matter. A disillusioned woman, the narrator doesn't mince words about the imperfection of her life, her relationships, her prospects; yet what might in other hands seem discouraging is presented with such humor the reader can't help but feel there may yet be hope... for most of us.
Fish Soup
Set on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, "Waiting for a hurricane," follows a girl obsessed with escaping both her life and her country. Emotionally detached from her family and disillustioned with what the future holds, the takes drastic steps, seemingly oblivious to the damage she causes to herself and those around her. "Sexual education" examines the attempts of a student to tally the strict doctrine oabstinencece taught at her school with the very different social norms of her social circles. The short stories offer snapshots of lives in turmoil, frayed by relationships, dreams of escape, family taboos and rejection of, and by, society.
A Sauce Stealer
Meklina's writing skill in English is astonishing. Ursula K. Le Guin Meklina's writing is metamorphic, tangling comedy, irony, tragedy and beauty together. Alicia Ostriker In these startling and engaging stories, Meklina presents the familiar and the unfamiliar through bright beams of language, and wonderful flourishes of narrative craft. Her literary eye is one that wisely observes and wisely embroiders simultaneously, and I came away ready to think about everyone I know in wiser ways. Rod Val Moore, author of Igloo Among Palms (Iowa Fiction Award) Meklina's short prose portrays with jarring realism the gritty street life of big cities, and the inner Angst of people on the edge, through the...
