Since the 1980s, Braschi's linguistic and structural ingenuities, radical thinking, and poetic hilarity have spanned the genres of theatre, poetry, fiction, essay, musical, manifesto, political philosophy, and spoken word. Her best-known titles are \u003ci\u003eEl imperio de los sue?os\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYo-Yo Boing!\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eUnited States of Banana\u003c\/i\u003e. She writes in Spanish, Spanglish, and English and embraces timely and enduring subjects: love, liberty, creativity, environment, economy, censorship, borders, immigration, debt, incarceration, colonialization, terrorism, and revolution. Her work has been widely adapted into theater, photography, film, lithography, painting, sculpture, comics, and music. The essays in this volume explore the marvelous ways that Braschi's texts shake upside down our ideas of ourselves and enrich our understanding of how powerful narratives can wake us to our higher expectations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Luis Aldama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822946181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822946182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Frederick Luis Aldama","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46199157588223,"sku":"9780822946182","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1432be96-bffd-4aa4-bc24-cf5cb93d7cac.jpg?v=1727925213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poets-philosophers-lovers-frederick-luis-aldama-9780822946182","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
