BOOKS
by Jihyun Yun
Praise from Publishers Weekly:
“In this excellent debut, Yun lingers over descriptions in precise and evocative language.”
The Spanish Craze: America’s Fascination with the Hispanic World, 1779-1939
by Richard L. Kagan
Review in Albuquerque Journal:
“… a lively, readable, widely focused work that argues the United States has been enamored with Spain and the Spanish world off and on for 140 years.”
Sky Songs: Mediations on Loving a Broken World
by Jennifer Sinor
Praise from Kirkus Reviews:
“A lyrically profound collection.”
Issei Baseball: The Story of the First Japanese American Ballplayers
by Robert K. Fitts
Review in Spectrum Culture:
“For anyone who loves baseball or Japanese culture or, preferably, both – in other words, anyone who lists Takeshi Kitano’s Boiling Point as among their favorite films – this is a fantastic book that covers a less regarded aspect of the origins of the game in Japan.”
