This is the kind of cover that can be used in therapy for those who hate snakes.
Junot Diaz calls this the book that made him cry.
The book cover says 'seamlessly braiding English and Spanish' writing, but that is so for someone who knows both languages. But for someone who doesnt know Spanish, it is like broken maze.
"Kahlo glaring at a self portait
as if her gaze were responsible for holding it to the wall."
The writing has power to stick with you. There's just enough surrealism to not scare the reader away.
Websters Spanish-English dictionary wont tell me what pachangas means.
