Fantastical y Más Fuerte: Speculative Contemporary Takes on Immigration
Fiction has the unique power of intertwining harsh realities of our world with one’s own imagination, only limited by our own ideas of what’s possible. Whether through UFOs, uninvented technologies, or the inspiration of folklore, authors Amparo Ortiz (BLAZEWRATH GAMES), Romina Garber (LOBIZONA), Raquel Vasquez Gilliand (SIA MARTINEZ AND THE MOONLIT BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING), Paola Mendoza (SANCTUARY) and Alexandra Villasante (THE GRIEF KEEPER), have taken the immigrant experience and melded not-so-contemporary facets into their stories, creating beautifully and tragically unique perspectives on an issue that resonates deeply within the Latinx community.
