KEYNOTE EVENT: Dramatic reading from PUTINOIKA by Puerto Rican poet and novelist Giannina Braschi
PUTINOIKA from Brown Ink., Flowersong Press. Editor Frederick Luis Aldama. Pubsliher and Vidauerre.
“This powerful, funny, profound, wise, crazed book is a wild ride. It is a bomb (a poem?, a novel?, a play?, fiction? essay?, comedy?, drama? all of the above?). It is a meditation on poetry, art, the pandemia, politics, Trump, his wall, the Putinas, the author, Puerto Rico, Oedipus, and Baudelaire. I laughed to tears here and there while the book displays one of the cruelest portraits of our times.” stated poet and playwright Carmen Boullosa
“Braschi teaches us all how the barriers between languages, nationalities, styles, and genres were meant to be torn down. Her ludic intellect and literary innovation have made her a beloved fixture of the global literary ecosystem, and Putinoika will only cement this status. We are honored to have featured the first published excerpt from the book in Latin American Literature Today, and to share in Braschi’s mission of breaking through the illusory boundaries that now, more than ever, seem determined to keep us apart,” wrote Marcelo Rioseco, Editor-in-Chief, Latin American Literature Today.
