The House On The Lagoon
New York. 1995. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. ISBN:0374173117. 407 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Michael Ian Kaye. Jacket photo by Melissa Hayden. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Novelist short-story master poet and critic Rosario Ferre is Puerto Rico�s preeminent literary figure and her new novel is destined to establish her a s a writer of international renown. THE HOUSE ON THE LAGOON is the story of Quintin Mendizabal and his wife Isabel Monfort Isabel a fledgling novelist is writing a multigenerational novel about the history of their families of Spanish and Corsican origins and their arrival in Puerto Rico. Her ambition is great but her sense of history comically weak. When Quintin who happens to be a historian finds her manuscript he begins to write alternate chapters expressing his own point of view. Isabel colorfully weaves a tapestry of life among the ruling classes of Puerto Rico with their passionate debates about independence statehood racism; their links to Spain and Europe; and their ambivalence toward the United States. But as she draws a self-portrait of her marriage as well it becomes clear that her relationship with her husband is far from picture-perfect. Quintin becomes incensed at Isabel�s version of events at her audacity in writing a book and an autobiographical one at that. And Isabel in her struggle to forge a new identity and free herself from her coercive marriage and the constraints of the culture precipitates a conflagration that threatens to consume the entire family. A shattering story of love and death privilege and servitude THE HOUSE ON THE LAGOON is a brilliant evocation of Puerto Rico in the twentieth century. inventory #21572 ISBN: 0374173117. hardcover

Ferre Rosario
The Youngest Doll. Signed
1991. First American edition. Lincoln University of Nebraska 1991. 14 cm x 23 cm. XIV 169 pages. Original Hardcover with original dustjacket in protective collector's mylar. Excellent condition signed first English language edition with only very minor signs of external wear. Latin American women writers. A gentle maiden aunt who has been victimized for years unexpectedly retaliates through her talent for making life-sized dolls filled with honey. "The Youngest Doll" based on a family anecdote is a stunning literary expression of Rosario Ferre's feminist and social concerns. It is the premier story in a collection that was originally published in Spanish in 1976 as Papeles de Pandora and is now translated into English by the author. The daughter of a former governor of Puerto Rico Ferre portrays women loosening the constraints that have bound them to a patriarchal culture. Anger takes creative rather than polemical form in ten stories that started Ferre on her way to becoming a leading woman writer in Latin America. The upper-middle-class women in The Youngest Doll mostly married to macho men rebel against their doll-like existence or retreat into fantasy those without money or the right skin color are even more oppressed. In terms of power and influence these women stand in the same relation to men as Puerto Rico itself does to the United States and Ferre stretches artistic boundaries in writing about their situation. The stories moving from the realistic to the nightmarish are deeply felt full of irony and black humor often experimental in form. The imagery is striking: an architect dreams about a beautiful bridge that "would open and close its arches like alligators making love"; a Mercedes Benz "shines in the dark like a chromium rhinoceros." One story "The Sleeping Beauty" is a collage of letters announcements and photo captions that allows chilling conclusions to be drawn from what is not written. The collection includes Ferre's discussion of "When Women Love Men" a story about a prostitute and a society lady who unite in order to survive and one that illustrates the woman writer's "art of dissembling anger through irony." In closing she considers how her experience as a Latin American woman with ties to the United States has brought to her writing a dual cultural perspective. Amazon hardcover
