#readingtheamericas2023. #uruguay Not the poetic, multi-voice brilliance of Memory of Fire but nevertheless an interesting history of the whole world through small vignettes of key people. Like all history, this one comes with a point of view. We hear about the enslaved as well as the enslavers, we hear about South and Central America, not just Europe and North America. Plus, who knew, the history of the world is full of women.

Eduardo Galeano is a master of prose. He uses a series of vignettes to tell the history of his country, along with parable and mythology.

Reggie This sounds pretty good. Have you ever read Ana Castillo? She‘s this Chicana author who is in my top five authors. Her books are magic to me. 6y
Mixedreader @Reggie Yes, she‘s one of my faves! So Far From God was incredible. 6y
