While growing up in housing projects in Puerto Rico and Miami Beach, D az found herself caught between extremes. As her family split apart and her mother battled schizophrenia, she was supported by the love of her friends. As she longed for a family and home, her life was upended by violence. As she celebrated her Puerto Rican culture, she couldn't find support for her burgeoning sexual identity. From her own struggles with depression and sexual assault to Puerto Rico's history of colonialism, every page of Ordinary Girls vibrates with music and lyricism. D az writes with raw and refreshing honesty, triumphantly mapping a way out of despair toward love and hope to become her version of the girl she always wanted to be. Reminiscent of Tara Westover's Educated, Kiese Laymon's Heavy, Mary Karr's The Liars' Club, and Terese Marie Mailhot's Heart Berries, Jaquira D az's memoir provides a vivid portrait of a life lived in (and beyond) the borders of Puerto Rico and its complicated history--and reads as electrically as a novel.

Описание: Ordinary Girls is a fierce, beautiful, and unflinching memoir from a wildly talented debut author. While growing up in housing projects in Puerto Rico and Miami Beach, Jaquira Diaz found herself caught between extremes: as her family split apart and her mother battled schizophrenia, she was surrounded by the love of her friends; as she longed for a family and home, she found instead a life upended by violence. From her own struggles with depression and sexual assault to Puerto Rico's history of colonialism, every page of Ordinary Girls vibrates with music and lyricism. Diaz triumphantly maps a way out of despair toward love and hope to become her version of the girl she always wanted to be. With a story reminiscent of Tara Westover's Educated, Roxane Gay's Hunger, and Terese Marie Mailhot's Heart Berries, Jaquira Diaz delivers a memoir that reads as electrically as a novel.
Para las muchachas que fuimos, para la muchacha que fui, para las muchachas de todo el mundo que son como nosotras solнamos ser. Para las muchachas que nunca se vieron reflejadas en los libros. Para las muchachas ordinarias.
Jaquira Dнaz siempre se encontrу entre extremos en lugares permeados por la violencia. A pesar de aсorar tener una familia unida y un hogar seguro, йstos eran difнciles de conseguir viviendo bajo los niveles de pobreza en el caserнo Padre Rivera en Puerto Rico y en Miami Beach, sobre todo tras el diagnуstico de esquizofrenia de su madre y la subsiguiente ruptura familiar. El amor y apoyo de sus panas la mantuvieron a flote al encontrarse ante otra disyuntiva: su identidad y orgullo como puertorriqueсa no dejaba cabida para su nueva identidad sexual.
Cada pбgina de Muchachas ordinarias brilla por su lirismo, crudeza y sensibilidad. Desde su lucha contra la depresiуn y el tortuoso camino que debiу recorrer como sobreviviente de agresiуn sexual, pasando por el estado colonial actual de Puerto Rico, Dнaz narra sus vivencias con increнble lucidez y brutal honestidad, trazando la ruta que la alejу de la desesperanza y la llevу hacia el amor y el deseo de convertirse en la muchacha que siempre quiso ser.
Jaquira Dнaz naciу en Puerto Rico y se criу en Miami Beach.
