The Mixquiahuala Letters

by Ana Castillo Narrated by Ana Daniela Osorio

Overview

Focusing on the relationship between two fiercely independent women-Teresa, a writer, and Alicia, an artist-this epistolary novel was written as a tribute to Julio Cortázar's Hopscotch and examines Latina forms of love, gender conflict, and female friendship. This groundbreaking debut novel received an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation and is widely studied as a feminist text on the nature of self-conflict.

Editorial Reviews

Irene Carr

Every time I read The Mixquiahuala Letters I savor the beautiful prose, become absorbed in the inevitable conflicts, and find new insights in the reflections of a woman who is caught between her desire to be free of societal expectations and her own internalized constrictions.
