Maureen Howard recommends
thumb
Tales from the Town of Widows (2007)
James Cañón
"Cañón is a gifted storyteller, as full of his radical purpose as Jonathan Swift, as enchanting as Gabriel García Márquez, as brainy as Pamuk, yet his anger and compassion, as well as his humor, are distinctly his own."
thumb
There Is Room for You (2004)
Charlotte Bacon
"A richly endowed memory piece... Bacon is a seductive and gifted storyteller."
