In The Tribe: Portraits of Cuba, translated by Frank Wynne, Cuban writer Carlos Manuel Álvarez uses the “crónica” form – a  Latin American writing genre that blends reportage, narrative nonfiction, and novelistic techniques – to illuminate a particularly turbulent period in Cuban history, from the reestablishment of diplomatic relations with the United States and the death of Fidel Castro to the convulsions of the San Isidro Movement. In What the Bread Says: Baking with Love, History, and Papan, Vanessa Garcia relays how, when she was a little girl, she and her grandfather, Papan, baked bread while he shared the amazing adventures of his life. That’s how Garcia learned about her roots – and it’s a lesson on how stories can carry us through no matter what. Simultaneous translation into English available.
