Drawing from an era rife with exploration, both geographic and intellectual, the collection encapsulates the dual quests for knowledge and self-discovery, prevalent in the enlightenment period. For readers eager to traverse the intersections of fiction and historical inquiry, this volume represents an invaluable resource. It offers an immersive look into a multiplicity of perspectives, each enriching the narrative tapestry with stylistic flair and thematic profundity. The anthology'Äôs compiled insights transport readers beyond the written word into the rich dialogues of early modern Europe, making it a must-read for those interested in the confluence of literary artistry and historical context. Immerse yourself in this collection for its educational merits and its invitation to ponder the intricacies of identity and society at the turn of the 18th century.

    The Best That You Can Do - Stories

    Winner of the 2023 Soft Skull-Kimbilio Publishing Prize, a collection of short stories that elaborate the realities of a diasporic existence, split identities, and the beautiful potency of meaningful connections 
     
     
     
    Primarily told from the perspective of women and children in the Northeast who are tethered to fathers and families in Puerto Rico, these stories explore the confusion of being one person in two places—of having a mother who wants your father and his language to stay on his island but sends you there because you need to know your family. Loudly and joyfully filled with Cousins, Aunts, Grandparents, and budding romances, these stories are saturated in summer nostalgia, and place listeners at the center of the table to enjoy family traditions and holidays: the resplendent and universal language of survival for displaced or broken families. 
     
     
     
    Refusing to shy away from dysfunction, loss, obligation, or interrogating Black and Latinx heritages, Gautier's stories feature New York neighborhoods made of island nations living with seasonal and perpetual displacement. Like Justin Torres's We the Animals or Quiara Alegria Hudes's My Broken Language, it's the characters-in-becoming—flanked by family and rich with detail—that animate each story with special frequencies, especially for listeners grappling with split-identities themselves.
