Recs if you like The Storyteller's Death...

myth and folklore woven into reality to explore the legacies of colonialism: displacement, cultural erasure, trauma, the question of identity, and resistance. these books revolt against the idea of a single, rational, western worldview, reclaiming indigenous beliefs and knowledge systems as valid forms of truth.

after all, what looks like "magic" may simply be reality seen through other eyes.

recs always welcome :)

Puerto Rican and Hispanic Storytellers A little bit of the homeland

All kinds of fiction stories written by Boricua authors

Books on Puerto Rico: fiction, non-fiction, travel, food, culture, etc

theme: generational trauma

read around the world is a challenge to read from every country in the world. the author could be from that country or the book could be based there (kudos if both!). for me, i try to add in as many translated books and indigenous stories when possible.

note: while horrors such as war and colonization are unavoidbale in many stories due to how people are shaped by them, i try to find stories that do not always reflect suffering.
