What the Editor is Reading Right now! 

Unveiling Kate Chopin
by Emily Toth
Paperback - 232 pages (March 1999)
Univ Pr of Mississippi (Trd); ISBN: 1578061024 ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.86 x 8.90 x 5.84
Other Editions: Hardcover

This is the new biography of Kate Chopin that just came out. I just started reading it, so can't really detail everything about it, but will do so as soon as I get an idea of where it's going. But Toth's style is great and I think the bio reads more like a novel than "boring old nonfictidon." If you came here to read about Chopin, you need this book.

Caballero : A Historical Novel
by Jovita Gonzalez Mireles, Eve Raleigh (Contributor), m Cotera, Jovita Gonzalez, Jose E. Limon (Editor).

Hardcover - 350 pages (June 1996)
Texas A&M University Press; ISBN: 0890967016.

This book analyzes the impact of American annexation of Texas on the Spanish "ranchero" families that had been in the south Texas area for years, many of whom resented their new "statehood." It is a romantic novel-- and has incredible descriptions of the lives of people of this time. At times, the novel is a little cliched, the love-story is of the "first sight" variety-- but it is truly, when you think about it, advanced in it's feminist politics. This book should probably become one of the foundational texts for the growing Latin-American canon.
