Growing up in Miami has shaped him into someone who dreams of being the King of the 305, with the money, power, and respect he assumes comes with it. After finding himself at the mercy of a cease-and-desist letter from Pitbulls legal team and living in his aunts garage-turned-efficiency, Izzy embarks on an absurd quest to turn himself into a modern-day Tony Montana.</p><p>When Izzys efforts lead him to the tank that houses Lolita, a captive orca at the Miami Seaquarium, she proves just how powerful she and the water surrounding her really are -permeating everything from Miamis sinking streets to Izzys memories to the very heart of the novel itself. What begins as Izzys story turns into a super-saturated fever dream as sprawling and surreal as the Magic City, one as sharp as an iguanas claws, and as menacing as a killer whales teeth. As the truth surrounding Izzys boyhood escape from Cuba surfaces, the novel reckons with the forces of nature, with the limits and absence of love, and with the dangers of pursuing a tragic inheritance.</p><p>Wildly narrated and expertly rendered, <em>Say Hello to My Little Friend</em> is Jennine Capó Crucets most daring, heart-breaking, and fearless book yet.</p><p><strong>Praise for Jennine Capó Crucet</strong></p><p>This is definitely a young writer to watch for-sassy, smart, with an unerring ear for a communitys voices, its losses, its over-the-top extravagances, and its poignant struggles to understand itself in a new land JULIA ALVAREZ</p><p>Jennine Capó Crucet is a wonderful writer... wise and honest... furious and funny LAUREN GROFF</p><p><em><em>Jennine Capó Crucet is an electrifying new talent-shes funny, shes smart, and she knows how to tell great stories CURTIS SITTENFELD</em></em></p>...821492Say Hello to My Little Friend244287https://www.gandhi.com.mx/say-hello-to-my-little-friend-3/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/479820/470e1559-db7e-44b8-bfb7-c0ec16dfb002.jpg?v=638784958845730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781529415551_W3siaWQiOiJmODM4ZmEyOC0wY2U1LTRmMDctYTBkMC1mZWZhNTc2YjlmYjMiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjUwMCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjkwLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjQxMCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781529415551_<p><strong>Set in Miami in the summer of 2017 and firmly planted in the Marvelous Real - the literary tradition most fitting for a sinking city like Miami - Say Hello to My Little Friend crosses borders both literal and imagined.</strong></p><p>At turns satirical and surreal, and combining elements of the quintessential immigrant-story-gone-haywire film Scarface with the classic novel Moby Dick, the book follows Israel Izzy Reyes as he pursues a career as a smuggler of Cuban refugees into the United States, assisting rafters in reaching the shore and taking advantage of the Cuban Adjustment act, more colloquially known as the "Wet Foot/Dry Foot" Act- the same piece of legislation that allowed him to become a citizen after arriving in a raft at the age of nine.</p><p><strong>By turns surreal and satirical, this novel forces us to pay attention to the ongoing global immigration crisis, to question immigrations legacy on American culture, and to ask directly what it means to chase the American Dream.</strong></p>...9781529415551_Quercuslibro_electonico_18d52cce-f31c-309c-8660-572da2b8cd17_9781529415551;9781529415551_9781529415551Jennine CapóInglésMéxico2024-03-05T00:00:00+00:00https://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/hachetteuk-epub-6981a0c7-672d-4988-9e03-81066b118d09.epub2024-03-05T00:00:00+00:00Quercus
