La dramaturga ganadora del premio Pulitzer y coguionista de In the Heights cuenta en sus memorias la experiencia de crecer en un barrio pobre de Filadelfia junto a su numerosa familia puertorriqueña. Quiara AlegrÃa Hudes está en su propia liga. Sus frases te dejarán sin aliento. Qué suerte tenemos de que sea ella quien cuente nuestras historias. - Lin-Manuel Miranda, creador de Hamilton y In the Heights Quiara AlegrÃa Hudes era la niña de ojos penetrantes que permanecÃa resguardada en las escaleras de la casa de su abuela en el norte de Filadelfia mientras observaba a su familia bailar en su estrecha cocina. Le maravillaban sus tÃas, tÃos y primos, pero vivÃa aterrada por los secretos de la familia y las historias ocultas del barrio--todo esto mientras intentaba encontrar su propia voz entre el mar de lenguajes que la rodeaban, tanto en el habla como por escrito: inglés y español, cuerpos y libros, arte occidental y altares sagrados. Su familia se convirtió en su panteón privado, un cÃrculo de poderosas mujeres parecidas a orishas con trágicas heridas del mundo real, y se comprometió a contar sus historias, pero primero tendrÃa que bajarse de las escaleras y unirse al baile. TendrÃa que encontrar su propio lenguaje. Tejiendo el amor de Hudes por los libros con las historias de su familia, las lecciones aprendidas en el norte de Filadelfia y aquellas adquiridas en la universidad de Yale, esta es una exploración del hogar, la memoria y la pertenencia, narrada por una niña obsesionada que luchó por convertirse en artista para poder capturar el mundo que amaba en toda su belleza, delicada y salvaje. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUZZ PICK - The Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and co-writer of In the Heights tells her lyrical story of coming of age against the backdrop of an ailing Philadelphia barrio, with her sprawling Puerto Rican family as a collective muse. LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL - ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR, New York Public Library, BookPage, and BookRiot - Quiara Alegría Hudes is in her own league. Her sentences will take your breath away. How lucky we are to have her telling our stories.--Lin-Manuel Miranda, award-winning creator of Hamilton and In the Heights Quiara AlegrÃa Hudes was the sharp-eyed girl on the stairs while her family danced their defiance in a tight North Philly kitchen. She was awed by her mother and aunts and cousins, but haunted by the unspoken, untold stories of the barrio--even as she tried to find her own voice in the sea of language around her, written and spoken, English and Spanish, bodies and books, Western art and sacred altars. Her family became her private pantheon, a gathering circle of powerful orisha-like women with tragic real-world wounds, and she vowed to tell their stories--but first she'd have to get off the stairs and join the dance. She'd have to find her language. Weaving together Hudes's love of music with the songs of her family, the lessons of North Philly with those of Yale, this is a multimythic dive into home, memory, and belonging--narrated by an obsessed girl who fought to become an artist so she could capture the world she loved in all its wild and delicate beauty.
