FINALST FOR THE STORY PRIZE ā¢ LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/ROBERT W. BINGHAM PRIZE FOR DEBUT SHORT STORY COLLECTION
Kali Fajardo-Anstineās magnetic story collection breathes life into her Latina characters of indigenous ancestry and the land they inhabit in the American West. Against the remarkable backdrop of Denver, Coloradoāa place that is as fierce as it is exquisiteāthese women navigate the land the way they navigate their lives: with caution, grace, and quiet force.
In āSugar Babies,ā ancestry and heritage are hidden inside the earth but tend to rise during land disputes. āAny Further Westā follows a sex worker and her daughter as they leave their ancestral home in southern Colorado only to find a foreign and hostile land in California. In āTomi,ā a woman leaves prison and finds herself in a gentrified city that is a shadow of the one she remembers from her childhood. And in the title story, āSabrina & Corina,ā a Denver family falls into a cycle of violence against women, coming together only through ritual.
Sabrina & Corina is a moving narrative of unrelenting feminine power and an exploration of the universal experiences of abandonment, heritage, and an eternal sense of home.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Public Library ā¢Ā Kirkus ReviewsĀ ā¢Ā Library JournalĀ
āSabrina & CorinaĀ isnāt just good, itās masterful storytelling. Fajardo-Anstine is a fearless writer: her women are strong and scarred witnesses of the violations of their homelands, their culture, their bodies; her plots turn and surprise, unerring and organic in their comprehensiveness; her characters break your heart, but you keep on going because you know you are in the hands of a master. Her stories move through the heart of darkness and illuminate it with the soul of truth.āāJulia Alvarez, author of How the GarcĆa Girls Lost Their Accents
