Exuberant and colorful, Latin Moon in Manhattan paints a vivid portrait of New York City as the land of El Dorado for today's Latino immigrants. From Little Colombia in Queens to the street life of Times Square, this brilliant novel is crowded with an extraordinary cast of characters: Hot Sauce, a midget hooker; Simon Bolivar, a parrot who croons Julio Iglesias songs; the Urrutias, a family rich from cocaine smuggling; Santiago Martinez, a loner and would-be poet whose ancient cat, Mr. O'Donnell, is slowly dying of an enlarged heart. Exploding with a profusion of plots and subplots involving drug smuggling, romance, and the literary politics of Queens, Latin Moon in Manhattan is a rich and utterly charming work.

New York. 1992. St Martin's Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0312071000. 212 pages. hardcover. Cover: Cary Henrie. keywords: Literature Translated Colombia Latin America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Exuberant and colorful, LATIN MOON IN MANHATTAN paints a stunning portrait of New York City as the land of El Dorado for today's Latino immigrants. From Little Colombia in Queens to 42nd Street in Manhattan, the vibrant life of Latino New York offers an extraordinary cast of characters: Hot Sauce, a midget hooker; Simon Bolivar, a parrot who croons Julio Iglesias songs; Ben Ami Burztyn, a rich Venezuelan gourmand and would-be biographer of Edgar Allen Poe; Rebecca Allavant, a librarian from Alabama in love with a South American hairdresser who doesn't speak English, and the Urrutias, a family rich from cocaine smuggling. And, of course, our protagonist, Santiago Martinez, loner and would-be poet, who thinks he will spend the summer months watching his ancient cat, Mr. O'Donnell, die of an enlarged heart. Instead, his life explodes with a profusion of plots and subplots involving cocaine smuggling, romance, literary politics among the middle-class ladies in Queens, the death of his best boyhood friend from AIDS, and the efforts of his own family and the Urrutias to marry him off to their youngest daughter, a beautiful, well-educated motorcycle fanatic who happens to be a lesbian. LATIN MOON IN MANHATTAN presents a pulsing portrait of Latin life in the urban heart of America, a lyrical homage to city living in the capital of the present. inventory #15698.
