   Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  m.belljackson | Jan 28, 2021 |    ) allriledup | Aug 11, 2018 | The stories in Everything Begins and Ends at the Kentucky Club are set in the border cities of El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, the second largest bi-national metropolitan area on the U. S. – Mexico border. Located two blocks south of the Rio Grande on Avenida Juarez, The Kentucky Club is a-not-much-to-look-at bar that all the characters have a connection to, visit, or dream about. As Michael says in “The Hurting Game,” “The Kentucky Club was code for home." Benjamin Alire Sáenz became the first Latino writer to win the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction for 'Kentucky Club:' who’s ever looked around a run-down bar and wondered who the various first timers and regulars were and what their lives were like, Sáenz has supplied a moving collection of answers.

HTML: Winner of the 2013 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction! Benjamin Alire Sáenz's stories reveal how all borders??real, imagined, sexual, human, the line between dark and light, addict and straight??entangle those who live on either side. Take, for instance, the Kentucky Club on Avenida Juárez two blocks south of the Rio Grande. It's a touchstone for each of Sáenz's stories. His characters walk by, they might go in for a drink or to score, or they might just stay there for a while and let their story be told. Sáenz knows that the Kentucky Club, like special watering holes in all cities, is the contrary to borders. It welcomes Spanish and English, Mexicans and gringos, poor and rich, gay and straight, drug addicts and drunks, laughter and sadness, and even despair. It's a place of rich history and good drinks and cold beer and a long polished mahogany bar. Some days it smells like piss. "I'm going home to the other side." That's a strange statement, but you hear it all the time at the Kentucky Club. Benjamin Alire Sáenz is a highly regarded writer of fiction, poetry, and children's literature. Like these stories, his writing crosses borders and lands in our collective psyche. Poets & Writers Magazine named him one of the fifty most inspiring writers in the world. He's been a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and PEN Center's prestigious award for young adult fiction. Sáenz is the chair of the creative writing department of University of Texa No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
