Short Story Club will feature a variety of short stories by American writers, coupled with a discussion about the meaning and language used in the text.
For this session we will discuss "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez
Julia Alvarez is a Dominican-American poet, novelist, and essayist. Alvarez was born in New York but spent the first ten years of her childhood in the Dominican Republic until her family had to flee the country due to her father’s involvement in a political rebellion. Much of Alvarez’s work focuses on her experiences as a Dominican in the United States. In this essay, Alvarez discusses the multiple names she has been given over the years.
