520 |a With a remarkable combination of tenderness, lyricism, wicked humor, and biting satire, Ana Castillo dramatizes her heroine's struggle through poverty. Urged on by the gods of the ancients, the heroine, known only as "Ella" or "She," narrates stories that illustrate what it means to be a marginalized brown woman or man at the threshold of the 21st Century. Ella's life interweaves with those of others whose existences are often neglected, even denied, by society's status quo. She also moves toward establishing her sexual identity through affairs with both men and women as she makes her way in the world while simultaneously raising a son to be independent and self-sufficient
