When Cristina García's first novel, Dreaming in Cuban, was published in 1992, The New York Times called the author "a magical new writer...completely original." The book was nominated for a National Book Award, and reviewers everywhere praised it for the richness of its prose, the vivid drama of the narrative, and the dazzling illumination it brought to bear on the intricacies of family life in general and the Cuban American family in particular. Now, with The Agüero Sisters, García gives us her widely anticipated new novel. Large, vibrant, resonant with image and emotion, it tells a mesmerizing story about the power of family myth to mask, transform, and, finally, reveal the truth. It is the story of Reina and Constancia Agüero, Cuban sisters who have been estranged for thirty years. Reina, forty-eight years old, living in Cuba in the early 1990s, was once a devoted daughter of la revolución; Constancia, an eager to assimilate naturalized American, smuggled herself off the island in 1962. Reina is tall, darkly beautiful, unmarried, and magnetically sexual, a master electrician who is known as Compañera Amazona among her countless male suitors, and who basks in the admiration she receives in her trade and in her bed. Constancia is petite, perfectly put together, pale skinned, an inspirationally successful yet modest cosmetics saleswoman, long resigned to her passionless marriage. Reina believes in only what she can grasp with her five senses; Constancia believes in miracles that "arrive every day from the succulent edge of disaster." Reina lives surrounded by their father's belongings, the tangible remains of her childhood; Constancia has inherited only a startling resemblance to their mother--the mysterious Blanca--which she wears like an unwanted mask. The sisters' stories are braided with the voice from the past of their father, Ignacio, a renowned naturalist whose chronicling of Cuba's dying species mirrored his own sad inability to prevent familial tragedy. It is in the memories of their parents--dead many years but still powerfully present--that the sisters' lives have remained inextricably bound. Tireless scientists, Ignacio and Blanca understood the perfect truth of the language of nature, but never learned to speak it in their own tongue. What they left their daughters--the picture of a dark and uncertain history sifted with half-truths and pure lies--is the burden and the gift the two women struggle with as they move unknowingly toward reunion. And during that movement, as their stories unfurl and intertwine with those of their children, their lovers and husbands, their parents, we see the expression and effect of the passions, humor, and desires that both define their differences and shape their fierce attachment to each other and to their discordant past. The Agüero Sisters is clear confirmation of Cristina García's standing in the front ranks of new American fiction. Translation by Alan West.

La poeta norteamericana más radical junto a Emily Dickinson, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer y del National Book Award. «Una poeta de poetas». Jaime Gil de Biedma «Marianne Moore se enfrentó a los convencionalismos lingüísticos, sintácticosy temáticos de lo que Gertrude Stein llamó la "poesía patriarcal". Y cabría añadir: salió victoriosa». Elaine Showalter 50o ANIVERSARIO Versión de Olivia de Miguel, merecedora del Premio Nacional de Traducción En la poesía del siglo XX, el nombre de Marianne Moore ocupa un lugar esencial. Quizá sea, después de Emily Dickinson, la poeta más radical que han dado las letras norteamericanas. Compañera de generación de Wallace Stevens o de William Carlos Williams, Moore logró crear un universo poético, tanto en el fondo como en la forma, muy distinto a lo que hasta entonces se había hecho. Poeta del mundo natural, muy poco dada al tono confesional, su poesía nace en el imaginismo de su generación y desemboca en el alumbramiento de una poesía construida con imágenes y símbolos de una belleza pura. La crítica ha dicho: «La poeta más radical de las letras norteamericanas. Una poesía repleta de imágenes que son pura belleza.» Greta H. Quiroga, Harper's Bazaar «Una experiencia que no deja indiferente, una apuesta por lo inesperado.» Ernest Farrés, La Vanguardia «Una poesía que no puede leerse sin el sobresalto, hondo y rico, de una singularidad excepcional.» Luis Antonio de Villena «Marianne Moore fue la más importante de los modernistas estadounidenses; reescribió las reglas de la forma literaria.» Declan Kiberd «Ironía, agudeza, meticulosidad, precisión verbal..., se integran en el universo poético de Moore.» Jorge de Arco, Piedra del Molino «Un ritmo de intensidad lírica sumamente prometedor y sincero.» Cándido Pérez Gállego «Una poeta de poetas.» Jaime Gil de Biedma «Marianne Moore se enfrentó a los convencionalismos lingüísticos, sintácticos y temáticos de lo que Stein llamó la "poesía patriarcal". Y cabría añadir: salió victoriosa.» Elaine Showalter «Una transgresora en toda regla, como sus contemporáneas H. D. y Amy Lowell. [...] Propuesta métrica renovadora, exuberancia discursiva, versos desconcertantes que fluyen en estructuras rítmicas completamente inéditas hasta esa fecha...» Ma Ángeles Cabré, Letras Libres
