Synopsis
Oscar Hijuelos (1951 2013) is one of the most acclaimed Latino writers of the last half century. Here are three classic novels that opened a window on the Cuban-American experience: Our House in the Last World (1983), The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love (1989), and Mr. Ives' Christmas (1995). This Library of America edition marks the entrance of Hijuelos into the series with a deluxe hardcover edition that includes as well a newly researched chronology of the author's life., A legendary Cuban-American storyteller enters the Library of America series with a volume gathering three seductive and profound novels about family, desire, music, and loss Oscar Hijuelos was one of the most acclaimed Latino American writers of his generation. Here are three classic novels that opened a window on the Cuban-American experience, announcing a major new voice in our literature. Hijuelos launched his career with Our House in the Last World (1983), a resonant and nuanced novel portraying one immigrant's family story in midcentury Manhattan. At its center is Hector Santino, whose family has left the "home province of Fidel Castro, Batista, and Desi Arnaz" to settle in New York City, where their ebullient expectations of the good life in America lead, inevitably, to myriad disappointments and adjustments. In his best-known novel, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love (1989)--a book that Gabriel Garcia Marquez said he would have liked to have written--Hijuelos offers an unforgettable tribute to Latin music and its place in American culture around the middle of the twentieth century. Earning Hijuelos the Pulitzer Prize, the first to be awarded a Latino novelist, The Mambo Kings is also about the fleeting nature of fame and celebrity as well as the more profound themes of love, desire, and family. The poignant Mr. Ives' Christmas (1995), which Hijuelos once noted was an attempt to write a Christmas story "without being corny," takes up themes of loss and redemption in a story that poses the age-old question of why bad things happen to good people. This Library of America edition marks the entrance of Hijuelos into the series with a deluxe hardcover edition that includes as well a newly researched chronology of the author's life.
