memoir and depression as art
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Startling, this is a visionary memoir of Puerto Rico's political, social and cultural wars for its identity told by the heir to one of the most important heroine and political leader in Latin America in this his century. Vilar is an unmistakable talent and this book an extraordinary and unusual example of how memoir as therapy becomes memoir as art. The word depression will not mean the same to you after you read this book.
the ladies' gallery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a beautifully written memoir by the grand-daughter of Puerto Rican nationalist Lolita Lebron. Alternating chapters, Vilar presents her family history as well as her personal memoirs from inside of a mental hospital. This is not necessarily meant to be a political project. Nonetheless, it effectively captures the the emotion and experience of a woman who has inherited a heavy political legacy.
