Paperback. Condition: Good. Today I'm going to the grocery store, begins this creative fusion of poetry, fiction and non-fiction. In this innovative work that uses grocery stores as a guiding motif, Javier O. Huerta deftly combines English and Spanish to explore his identity as an immigrant, naturalized citizen, son, brother, lover, graduate student. Through poetry written in Spanish, a short play, non-fiction passages and even text messages, Huerta looks beyond his own personal circumstances and delves into subjects such as consumerism and health foods available only to a limited class of people. The diverse pieces and themes in American Copia pulsate with all that can be both communal and autonomous in everyday life. Though Huerta touches on serious subjects, many of these short vignettes are offbeat and humorous. His is an original, evocative voice that articulates the immigrant perspective to create a thought-provoking look at the land of plenty. This is a must-read for anyone interested in experimental or Mexican-American literature. …
