Gloria's Diary

Eighteen at last! I got the most gorgeous teal dress for my birthday with a full skirt, and I must say I look stunning! Goodbye to high school— but Salim will be attending a local university to earn a business degree. (More of his parents' idea than his own, as his real passion lies with writing.)

I've thought about whether I'd want to go to college too, but Mom says that's not necessary as a man will provide for me someday. And if Salim asked me to marry him, I would accept without a doubt. I'm confident he and I could build a beautiful life together.

When Salvador is working, Mary sometimes comes to visit Mom and me with baby Estela and she is ADORABLE! I can see it now, the kind of life I'd want with Salim, with children of our own, after he graduates of course.

Hey Mimi do you have any recommendations for books set in Latin America (any genre) ?

So I am going to assume that you are not asking for picks like Gabriel Garcia Marquez or Isabel Allende. Most of the Latinx authors I read are unfortunately fantasy or genre fiction set in the USA (I'm trying to remember if Tehlor Kay Mejia or Anna-Marie McLemore wrote a book that is explicitly set in a Latin American country.)

Here are a couple of books I enjoyed, or at least feel confident recommending based on what I remember:

Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (adult, urban fantasy, horror): Described by the author as a "violent neo-noir", this story is set in an alternate, gritty Mexico City, and follows a Tlāhuihpochtli vampire who strikes a bond with an impoverished street kid, while fleeing from narco-vampire clans, criminal gangs, and other dangers lurking in the dark underbelly of the city.

Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (adult, historical fiction, fantasy): In 1920s Mexico, a young woman accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan God of Death, and embarks on a cross-country mission with him: from the dazzling Jazz Age opulence of Mexico City, into the darkness of the Mayan underworld– where she must face great dangers to reinstate the God on his rightful throne.

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia** (adult, historical fiction, horror): A glamorous, fun-loving socialite in 1950s Mexico receives a disturbing letter from her married cousin, prompting her to travel down to their ancestral mansion, where the in-laws' live. There, on that ancient, colonial estate, she begins to be haunted by an equally ancient evil, and soon realises something is terribly wrong about the family her cousin has married into.

Tender is The Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica** (adult, dystopia, horror): In a near-dystopian future, an infectious virus turns all animal meat poisonous and unfit for consumption, forcing governments to legalize the factory-farming, breeding and eating of human meat. At one such processing plant, a worker is faced with a moral dilemma when he is gifted a "live" specimen.

Elena Knows by Claudia Piñeiro (adult, psychological thriller): Set in Argentina, this is a claustrophobic, uneasy novella about a mother's journey to uncover the truth behind the hushed-up murder of her dead daughter; the investigative mission, however, is made difficult by her advanced locomotive disability and age, as well as by this slowly unfurling realization: that she may not have known her daughter as truly as she thought.

And a couple I have not read/read and did not enjoy at all, but would recommend because my opinion seems to be in the minority:

Jawbone by Mónica Ojeda** (adult, horror, thriller, LGBTQ): A group of wealthy teenage girls attending an elite academy in Ecuador begin to convene regularly in an abandoned building, after school hours– but what started out as a place to exchange ghost stories, soon devolves into a site of dangerous thrill-seeking and dark, bloody rituals. (Note: I absolutely despised it, but you may enjoy; it's sapphic dark academia with cosmic horror and yellowjackets vibes).

Our Share of Night by Mariana Enríquez (adult, horror, historical fiction, fantasy): Set partially during the years of Argentina's brutal military dictatorship, this novel follows a father and son on a road trip, trying to escape a death cult, who have committed unspeakable atrocities. I have not read this gigantic tome, but I really want to, I am a sucker for horror rooted in political/historical allegories.

Cantoras by Carolina De Robertis (adult, historical fiction, LGBTQ): In 1977 Uruguay, a time when oppressive militia rule criminalized homosexuality as a dangerous transgression, five queer women discover an uninhabited cape, and claim the coastal sanctuary for themselves. Over years, it becomes their one safe haven, to be their true selves. Not read this, but it sounds strikingly similar to Last Summer at Bluefish Cove, one of my favourite queer stories of all time.

[ Note: All the stories are adult and given my inclination towards horror and psychological fiction, they are likely to be dealing with sensitive issues, but for the stories marked ** I very highly recommend checking trigger warnings ]

El Coronel No Tiene Quien Le Escriba.Garcia Marquez, 1998

[comicsart3]

The Sensational Rocket Girls are a non-too-serious retro set of space heroines created by artist and storyteller Don Marquez in 2015. His (to date) four-issue series features an all female crew of space mechanics, salvage experts and adventurers operating on the edge of the solar system in the 23rd century. Picking up a mysterious distress signal, the Rocket Girls set off to discover its source, which takes them beyond the solar system and into a barely explored zone known as The Scattered Disc.

Marquez’s cover art is shamelessly based on 1950s exploitative movie posters and covers to SF pulp magazines, featuring unfeasibly tight space costumes and large breasts. Inside the comics’ pages however, the stories themselves, while undeniably camp, have a much more serious edge and the Rocket Girls themselves are depicted as intelligent and relatively normal proportioned young women. In the course of their adventures they encounter genetically-engineered half insect monsters, renegade interstellar villains and lovestruck heroines, in true classic adventures style.

For all I know, Marquez will issue further editions of the Space Girls, which I really hope is the case because they just don’t make feisty light-hearted heroines like this anymore.

We Don't Talk About Bubo...

...and that's a real shame.

Now, let me make something clear: The writers of Encanto were right to cut Bubo Marquez and his arc with Isabela from the movie. It would've crowded the plot, and at the time, it was unnecessary for Isa to have a love interest or for Mariano to have any kind of rival. But that does not mean Bubo is a worthless character who deserves to be hated. His intended role in the film, along with the character design, reveal something very important about Isabela: She inherited her mother's tastes. I mean, look at this dork!

He's basically Agustín, but as a student in the 1950s.

What's more, because we never officially met Bubo, he is a blank slate. He can be pretty much anything you want him to be. We know he's interested in nature and knows (or thinks he knows) a few things about wild animals and/or survival. We know he was named after an owl for some reason. And we know he's notably shorter than Isa. But beyond that, the man is a mystery. A tabula rasa. We can do whatever we want with him. So that's what I did.

Bubo appears in my fic Patchwork (currently on hiatus due to the need to rework a couple of chapters). Part of my intention with that fic was to establish my own head canon for this character. Since I don't know when (or if) I'll finish that fic, let me share my own personal Bubo head canon with you all.

Bubo is from Bogotá.

He has an older sister named Rosa. Rosa suffers from lupus and also has vitiligo.

Bubo and Rosa attend a university in Bogotá--Bubo as an undergrad and Rosa as a graduate working on her doctorate.

The two of them are very close.

Bubo is shorter than Rosa, so she will never not get to refer to him as her little brother.

Bubo has been interested in ornithology since he was a child. His favorite bird is the great horned owl. His friends eventually nicknamed him Bubo because he would not stop talking about the owl, always calling it by its binomial, Bubo virginianus.

His real name is Alfonso.

Bubo is studying wildlife biology.

When Bubo meets Isabela, they hit it off right away, and agree to write one another.

Isa also becomes good friends with Rosa.

Bubo eventually visits the Encanto, where he meets Antonio and begs him to help him find the rare Andean condor.

Isa and Bubo date for a while, but nothing really comes of it, and their paths eventually diverge for a time. Bubo, Rosa and Isa remain good friends, however.

Whether or not Bubo and Isa ever get back together, I don't know.

Gloria began basic nursing training at a hospital to prepare for becoming a volunteer army nurse and going to Korea to serve. Some afternoons after her classes, she met up with Betsy, Naomi, and June to stroll around the city and look in the windows of their favorite shops. Meanwhile, between his college classes, Salim enjoyed writing short stories for the campus literary magazine, as well as reading, often stopping by the Morales apartment to do so.

As the date for her to leave for Korea neared, Gloria found her conversations with Salim becoming more serious, with a sense of underlying urgency. Though he hadn't proposed yet, he had broached the topic several times. "After you come back and after I graduate, we should get married, Inshallah."

"Of course. Nothing would make me happier, my love," she said. Emboldened by his promise, Gloria felt herself confident enough to take the next step. Shortly before she was set to leave, one thing led to another, and any anxiety Gloria may have had melted away in Salim's arms.
