Professor Luis Leal is one of the most outstanding scholars of Mexican, Latin American, and Chicano literatures and the dean of Mexican American intellectuals in the United States. He was one of the first senior scholars to recognize the viability and importance of Chicano literature, and, through his perceptive literary criticism, helped to legitimize it as a worthy field of study. His contributions to humanistic learning have brought him many honors, including Mexico’s Aquila Azteca and the United States’ National Humanities Medal. In this testimonio, or oral history, Luis Leal

Roland Bessette’s research into Lanza’s career includes recollections by his fellow performers and documents business transactions that show how badly Lanza was served by many of his advisors. With a novelist’s eye for detail. Bessette captures the inherent tragedy of the singer’s life, recounting unblinkingly the contradictory facets of his personal

Praise for Havana Red, the first of the Lt. Conde series: “Another winner from Bitter Lemon…an innovative take on the traditional detective story. A macho cop whose investigation into the murder of a transvestite leads him to ruminate on his own attraction to this ‘philosophy of mimetics and erasure.’"—The New York Times “A scorching novel from a star of Cuban fiction. Conde’s quest follows the basic rhythm of the whodunit, but Padura syncopates it with brilliant literary riffs on Cuban sex, society, religion, even food.”—Independent The brutally mutilated body of Miguel Forc

More than thirty years ago, a classic was born. A searing novel of the Mafia underworld, The Godfather introduced readers to the first family of American crime fiction, the Corleones-and became the definitive novel of the virile, violent subculture that remains steeped in intrigue, in controversy, and in our collective consciousness.
