Description



About the Book



A Chicana graduate student learns of a cover-up of the police shooting a young Chicano laborer named Puppet. Both a mystery and a call-to-action novel, Puppet is an underground classic. This is a bilingual edition - Spanish and English.



Book Synopsis



Originally published in Spanish and now in its first bilingual edition, Puppet is a complex, challenging, and ultimately compelling narrative. It tells the story of Petra (Pat) Leyva and how she comes to terms with the murder of Puppet, a Chicano youth, and the subsequent police cover-up. Already an underground classic, Puppet will appeal to readers interested in the politics of the Chicano movement and in racial and feminist politics in the United States. The bilingual edition will be welcomed by professors who teach American Studies, Chicano Studies, and Chicana literature.


"Breaches not only new but unique directions in the Chicano novel."--Francisco A. Lomelí, University of California, Santa Barbara


"They will be talking about Puppet for years to come."--Juan Rodríguez, Texas Lutheran University



Review Quotes




. . . this extraordinary text now appears in a fine English translation. The work is concise and complex, a postmodern creation that is highly accessible for all its experimental verve . . . Highly recommended for academic collections serving readers at all level and for public libraries.

This excellent translation is one that calls you to listen much more than you would anticipate.
