Publisher Synopsis
"The book brings together difficult-to-access materials that provide considerable insight into an unusual life." -- Publishers Weekly"For the prolific lesbian Chicana author, interviews are another kind of oral writing that provides an immediacy, an openness, and a self-exposure greater that that of any spontaneity in her meticulously revised publications. These dialogues and conversations give Anzaldua's perspectives on her work, the multiple and overlapping realities of her life, her beliefs about fluid sexual identities and desires, and her theories on convergence--a way of writing that combines the sexual, the mental, the emotional, and the psychic-supernatural in a written stream-of-consciousness." -- Booklist"This impressive collection of interviews offers us a sustained look at Gloria Anzaldua's insistence on theorizing the personal and on infusing the political with the poetic--words which have shaped feminist theories and practices over the last two decades." -- Angela Davis"All of [Anzaldua's] writing draws upon intensely personal sources, which makes interviews with her so enlightening." -- San Antonio Express-News"This memoir-like collection will appeal especially to the author's longtime fans." -- Curve"Gloria Anzaldua's boundless generosity of spirit glows throughout these interviews. I especially enjoy her ideas about space/time and the nature of reality (or the many realities...)." -- Leslie Marmon Silko, author of Almanacof the Dead Read more...
