On Heroes, Lizards, and Passion by Zoila Ellis
That's Belize. I'm going to be honest, I thought it was an island. It is not.
And summary! Go!
Seven short stories vividly depicting different facets of Belize s reality. From the country s rural areas to New York City, we accompany Belizean women and men as they go through the joys and hardships of life. Zoila Ellis demonstrates a refined ability to perceive and reproduce situations and characters, heightening the emotional impact of everyday events and rendering them into fine literature.
I should have finished this book in like 4 days. Buuut I didn't, and you shall get no apologies or explanations! Bahahahaha!
So I honestly don't have much to say about this one. I'm a much bigger fan of actual novels than short stories. You can't really go into much detail on them, and I like to feel connected to a story. There's just not enough to a short story for it to get under your skin.
But, not being a huge fan of short stories, I did enjoy these...they were cute. But I again had a hard time with the Creole, Caribbean dialect.
So, um, that's about it. Cute stories, short, that's...um...it.
