Overview

“Tu sabes lo que está ocurriendo aquí, ¿no? ¿No lo sabes? Lo que acabamos de escuchar es un poema, Chino. Se trata de una maravillosa nueva lengua. ¿No ves lo que está ocurriendo? Una nueva lengua significa una nueva raza. El futuro es Spanglish. Un nuevo lenguaje que está naciendo del choque de dos culturas chocando entre ellas”.

Todos en Spanish Harlem lo saben: Willie Bodega es el rey. ¿Necesita ayuda para mantener a su hija en la escuela? ¿Para pagar el alquiler? ¿Fondos para montar un puesto de frutas? Bodega puede ayudarlos a cambio de su lealtad, y sueña con ampliar sus negocios y la vida de El Barrio con el dinero negro del tráfico de drogas.

En esta intensa novela de búsqueda de identidad y redención, Julio, un joven inteligente y prometedor a quien llaman “Chino”, conoce al mítico Bodega, quien recurre a él para contactar a su amor de juventud. Atraído por el idealismo de bandido generoso de Bodega –antiguo miembro de los Young Lords y visionario que sueña con una “Gran Sociedad” de los latinos–, Chino acaba sumergido en un mundo de intrigas y violencia.

“Una obra palpitante, rica en detalles reveladores, de un joven escritor cuyo talento merece encontrar a una amplia audiencia de lectores”. —Oscar Hijuelos, autor de Los reyes del mambo tocan canciones de amor

"Una voz nueva y auténtica de la experiencia latina urbana". --Esmeralda Santiago, autora de Cuando era puertorriqueña

“Los lectores tendrán que recordarse a sí mismos que se trata de una obra de ficción y no de unas memorias. Su prosa, detallada y apasionada, hace que la historia cobre vida”. –Time
 
“Bodega es un personaje fascinante... La historia que (Quiñonez) narra tiene fuerza y valor”. –The New York Times Book Review
 
“Una provocativa y estimulante primera novela envuelta en el espectacular y andrajoso manto de sueños que queda del Harlem hispano”. –Salon

"Quiñonez tiene el oído de un poeta para los ritmos y modismos del spanglish del barrio, el don de un brujo para describir su alma, y ​​una energía callejera intensa e implacable". –Publisher's Weekly

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this "thriller with literary merit" (Time Out New York), a stunning narrative combines the gritty rhythms of Junot Diaz with the noir genius of Walter Mosley.

Bodega Dreams pulls us into Spanish Harlem, where the word is out: Willie Bodega is king. Need college tuition for your daughter? Start-up funds for your fruit stand? Bodega can help. He gives everyone a leg up, in exchange only for loyalty—and a steady income from the drugs he pushes.

Lyrical, inspired, and darkly funny, this powerful debut novel brilliantly evokes the trial of Chino, a smart, promising young man to whom Bodega turns for a favor. Chino is drawn to Bodega's street-smart idealism, but soon finds himself over his head, navigating an underworld of switchblade tempers, turncoat morality, and murder.

"Bodega is a fascinating character. . . . The story [Quiñonez] tells has energy and verve." —The New York Times Book Review
