Ulyssess in San Juan relates the relationship between Wolf, a Jewish concentration camp survivor, who has come to Puerto Rico to try to build his life again, and Carmen. a drug addict. The novel. set in 1980, takes the reader on a trip into the San Juan underworld, as well to other island sites to meet crooked and upright and deeply human characters. The survival theme is extended to Stevie Diaz, a young Newyorican who has recently returned to the island and is searching, through his writing, to find out where he is truly at, and Doris Jackson, who has moved to the island fto escape an abusive husband.
Genre: ART / GeneralThe book has sold a few hundreed copies. Since it deals wlith Latinos, and the U.S. relatlionsilp to Puerto Rico, I think ilt would have a much large5r markedt in a Spanish translation.
