Gritos y Susurros
Shouts and Whispers is an excellent book for someone who wants to know more about women, and, in particular, Mexican women. I was amazed at the candid honesty, bravery, and generosity displayed by most of the women in their stories. They truly wear their hearts on their sleeves. Although all of the contributors are of outstanding caliber, I would probably not have included a couple of the authors. Overall, the book is good, and certainly worth reading. The following are my specific responses to some of the writers and stories that impressed me most.
Lourdes Arizpe. In her sophisticated writing, she describes violence - a very sensitive issue- with class and depth. Her narrative depicts violence as viewed and suffered by women. Ms. Arizpe's writing confronts the reader with images of our own crude humanity. She never employs propagandistic tactics to elicit sympathy, but stays true to her own message. I must confess that although I did not know anything about Ms. Arizpe before reading this book, I am now a fan of hers. I think that because Ms. Arizpe is an anthropologist, she is better able to show us human nature in all its complexity. Although I do not want to deny respect to the other authors in this book, I would certainly venture to say that is the deepest and most complex story in the book.
Patricia Reyes Spindola. This story seems to be written for those who doubt that beautiful and successful women may be insecure. Ms. Reyes confesses her insecurities with such candor that you can only admire her all the more after reading her story. To say the least she is very honest!!
Julieta Fierro. My teenage Godson is a fan of hers, and once I read her story, I was able to understand why: she is very sharp!
Elena Poniatowska. After reading her story, I was nearly convinced that one will never be able to find someone with a heart as big as hers.
Maria Amparo Casar. Anyone who has ever felt the pressure to succeed in school will be able to relate to her anxieties and challenges.
Guadalupe Loaeza. As usual, Ms. Loaeza is very funny! I simply cannot understand Mr. GC.- although he seems smart, he screwed it up big time!
Ana María Olabuenaga. Modest and Humble!
Nina Zambrano. Sensitive, very sensitive.
Denise Dresser. For those of you who read her columns, the author here is not simply a brilliant mind; she is a woman made of flesh and bones: generous and brave!
P.S. I definitively support the idea of having this book translated into English.
Shouts and Whispers from Mexican Women
Denise Dresser initiated this edited volume by asking thirty-seven prominent Mexican women the question, "In what ways has life taken you by surprise?" The "shouts and whispers" of their responses have taken Mexico by surprise, made this book a bestseller, and led to a related program on Mexico's largest television network. These thirty-eight accounts of life's surprises are all well written, often funny and joyful, and mostly honest and candid.
