Don't underestimate this new novelist. She's jump-starting the year with a smart romantic comedy that lures us in with laughter and keeps us hooked with a fantastically engaging story. --The Washington Post A blazing talent debuts with the tale of a status-driven wedding planner grappling with her social ambitions, absent mother, and Puerto Rican roots--all in the wake of Hurricane MariaIt's 2017, and Olga and her brother, Pedro "Prieto" Acevedo, are boldfaced names in their hometown of New York. Prieto is a popular congressman representing their gentrifying Latinx neighborhood in Brooklyn, while Olga is the tony wedding planner for Manhattan's power brokers. Despite their alluring public lives, behind closed doors things are far less rosy. Sure, Olga can orchestrate the love stories of the 1 percent but she can't seem to find her own. . . until she meets Matteo, who forces her to confront the effects of long-held family secrets. Olga and Prieto's mother, Blanca, a Young Lord turned radical, abandoned her children to advance a militant political cause, leaving them to be raised by their grandmother. Now, with the winds of hurricane season, Blanca has come barreling back into their lives. Set against the backdrop of New York City in the months surrounding the most devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico's history, Xochitl Gonzalez's Olga Dies Dreaming is a story that examines political corruption, familial strife, and the very notion of the American dream--all while asking what it really means to weather a storm. Críticas Indie Next Selection for January 2022Book of the Month Club SelectionThe sharpest and best written social comedy in a while. --The Los Angeles TimesLiberation is at the heart of Olga Dies Dreaming. The story's driving tension derives from questions of how to break free...The book's title is an allusion to the poem "Puerto Rican Obituary," by Pedro Pietri, which contains the lines "Olga / dies dreaming of a five dollar raise." But Gonzalez's Olga will not go meekly to such a fate. Sometimes we must free ourselves -- even from dreams. -- New York Times Book Review Atmospheric, intelligent, and well informed: an impressive debut. -- Kirkus, starred review Olga Dies Dreaming is a beautiful force -- completely unique in its intricacies yet universal in the characters' desires to be loved and understood. -- Associated Press A fantastically engaging story...Rarely does a novel, particularly a debut novel, contend so powerfully and so delightfully with such a vast web of personal, cultural, political and even international imperatives. --The Washington Post [An] edifying debut... Gonzalez elevates this family drama with a great deal of insight on the characters' diaspora and politics. -- Publishers Weekly A wonderful and thought-provoking story...
