My mentor, la chingona de #NormaAlarcon. Chicana
author and founder of #ThirdWomanPress. An icon of Chicana feminism. Professora Emerita of
Chicano/Latino Studies at the University of California, #Berkeley. She was born in Coahuila, Mexico and as a young girl her familia moved first to #SanAntonio, #Texas y luego #Chicago. She believed in and published Latina writers before we believed in ourselves. We love Dr. Norma Alarcon. Our Sor Juana. Profe Norma Alarcon was also the translator of This Bridge into Esta puente, mi espalda: Voces de mujeres tercermundistas en los Estados Unidos (1988). Also coeditor with Ana
Castillo and Cherrie Moraga of The Sexuality of Latinas (1989), volume IV
of her Third Woman journal. "Her path breaking essays shaped Chicana Studies and paved the way for contemporary theories of Chicana subjectivity. For over 25 years she owned and ran Third Woman Press,
publishing key writers and texts in Chicana and Latina Studies. Writers such as #SandraCisneros and #AnaCastillo were first published in Third Woman Press." She resides in New Orleans.
‘I was married for a while, but now I live alone again, though not unhappily. There are moments when a kind of clarity comes over you, and suddenly you can see through walls to another dimension that you’d forgotten or chosen to ignore in order to continue living with the various illusions that make like, particularly life with other people, possible.’

When coming to Jerusalem, I brought way too many books with me - I think about 30?! Which is crazy, especially as I’ve also bought a load of Arabic books since being here.
Anyway, when packing, I prioritised the wonderful @theboxwalla books and also books that I’ve owned for ages. I’ve had these six books for years! And most shamefully, the copy of So Far from God was a gift from the lovely @lupita.reads and I still haven’t read it! But I will, here in Jerusalem!
I’ve started with Nicole Krauss’s Great House, as I’ve been meaning to read her work for ages and also noticed the very positive reviews of her latest work, Forest Dark (which I think @jjoongie loved?) So far, it’s beautifully written. It’s also partly set in Jerusalem, which is another reason why I wanted to read it here. I read far more Palestinian writers on the city because of my research, but I’m very interested in also reading Israeli and Jewish writers on Jerusalem and reflecting on how they portray it and what they do (and don’t!) say about its divisions.
Has anyone read any of these? Share your thoughts! What should I read after Great House?
