Lizard-Monkeys and Other Stories Roxanna Piedrafuette

In this playful collection of ten short stories and one short novella, the author stretches the boundaries of literary genre to explore facets of joy, love, and the meaning of cultural identity in a globalized world. The book has a girl born in a small town in Puerto Rico and a girl born on the moon; international whirlwind romance, the infamous Chupacabras, a radio show dedicated to paranormal phenomena, and people distracted by smartphones in unexpected ways. Incisive and often hilarious, these stories are a form of gentle satire served with a generous dollop of loving-kindness.
