SUMMARY:LitMinds Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the LitMinds Book Club at Gemini Ink. We’re reading The Family Izquierdo\, by Rubén Degollado.\nRegister\nA Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of 2022\nLonglisted for the PEN/Faulkner Award \nA masterful debut that weaves together the lives of three generations of a Mexican American family bound by love\, and a curse. \nThe tight-knit Izquierdo family is grappling with misfortunes none of them can explain. Their beloved patriarch has suffered from an emotional collapse and is dying; eldest son Gonzalo’s marriage is falling apart; daughter Dina\, beleaguered by the fear that her nightmares are real\, is a shut-in. When Gonzalo digs up a strange object in the backyard of the family home\, the Izquierdos take it as proof that a jealous neighbor has cursed them―could this be the reason for all their troubles? As the Izquierdos face a distressing present and an uncertain future\, they are sustained by the blood that binds them\, a divine presence\, and an abiding love for one another. Told in a series of soulful voices brimming with warmth and humor\, The Family Izquierdo is a tender narrative of a family at a turning point. \n\nRubén Degollado’s work has appeared in Beloit Fiction Journal\, Gulf Coast\, Hayden’s Ferry Review\, Image\, and the anthologies: Bearing the Mystery\, Nepantla Familias\, and Living Beyond Borders: Growing Up Mexican in America. His debut novel Throw won the Texas Institute of Letters Best YA Book for 2020 along with several accolades and his second book\, The Family Izquierdo\, a literary novel\, is a New York Times Editor’s Choice and a PEN/Faulkner Award longlisted book.
