Book Lust with Nancy Pearl featuring Cristina García
10/19/202326:45
Author and playwright Cristina García joins Book Lust's Nancy Pearl to discuss her new novel, "Vanishing Maps," the long-awaited sequel to her 1992 debut, "Dreaming in Cuban." The two discuss García's writing style - "elastic realism" - and how the new novel came to be written. García's first novel followed a number of women from a family that is bitterly divided over the Cuban revolution. The new book picks up decades later in a very different world but filled with many of the same struggles. For fans of "Dreaming in Cuban," the new novel ties up a few loose ends and leaves you with a few new ones.
