At once funny and poignant, intellectual and gossipy, lighthearted and layered, Yo! is above all a portrait of the artist, from award-winning author Julia Alvarez.

Charming and funny ... Mesmerizing ... Wonderful. --USA Today

Yolanda García--Yo, for short--is the literary one in the family. Her first published novel, in which uses as characters practically everyone she knows, was a big success. Now she's basking in the spotlight while those characters find their very recognizable selves dangling in that same blinding light. But turnabout is fair play, and so here, Yolanda García's family and friends tell the truth about Yo. Her three sisters, her Mami and Papi, her grandparents, tías, tíos, cousins, housemaids, her third husband: they take turns telling their side of the story, ripping into Yo and in the process creating their own endearing self-portraits.

Yo!, with its bright colors, passion, and penchant for controversy, is a portrait that could come only from the palette of Julia Alvarez.
