{"product_id":"yo-9780452281400","title":"¡Hola!","description":"\u003cb\u003eYolanda Garcia--her nickname is Yo--has proven herself a writer with a highly successful first novel whose \"characters\" are her family, friends, and lovers. While Yo enjoys her celebrity, her loved ones find themselves \"naked\" and recognizable to the world in their new public life.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat is the result? Those who were \"victimized by fiction\" want to tell their side of the story. And so they do in this one. Julia Alvarez's joyful, poignant, and well-conceived new novel, Yo! is about the conflict between art and reality, intellect and emotions, and acculturation in the United States and her own Dominican roots. Here, Yo's three sisters, her mother and father, her grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and husbands star in their versions of Yo's true life. Alvarez makes us believe them all and the indomitable Yo, whose creative impulse is rooted in her childhood memories and her two contrasting cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16152239\"\u003eJulia Alvarez\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plume Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780452281400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0452281407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e Spanish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC056000\"\u003eHispanic \u0026amp; Latino | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC044000\"\u003eWomen\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulia Alvarez \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eHow the García Girls Lost Their Accents, In the Time of the Butterflies\u003c\/i\u003e (a national Book Critics Circle Award finalist), and \u003ci\u003eYo!\u003c\/i\u003e.
