Sobre IBD

This book is a collection of short stories that capture the voices and often painful experiences of immigrants and their children. Although the narrator and her family go through tough times and face culture shock, hardships and sometimes homesickness, they manage to overcome all obstacles and try to make a life for themselves. The eleven stories are separated with plenty of extra activities, but still connected and the events are narrated in chronological order.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
