The Bossy Gallito
Bossy Gallito / El gallo de bodas: (Bilingual) - Lucia M. Gonzalez,Lulu Delacre

A cumulative tale. I'm not someone who thinks all books have to teach kids something or have a good lesson/moral at the end, but I wasn't a fan of the way this story resolves. It seems to boil down to just know the right people and you'll get what you want. 

 

I will say though I do not have the cultural knowledge to understand the context of this tale, so there's definitely a chance I have misinterpreted it and that my understanding is completely wrong.

Southside Collection
The Hustle of Kim Foxx - Steve Bogira
Cellmates - Tori Marlan
The Waiting Room - Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve
The Gun King - John H. Richardson
Payback - Natalie Y. Moor

This is a series of 5 articles/essays about the Southside in Chicago, or to be on point crime, justice and race in Chicago.  They are by five different authors so somewhat mixed.

 

The Waiting Room is most likely the most moving as it deals with the presence of a jail in the neighborhood as well as the impact of jail on the lives of people.  It is more thoughtful and deep than The Gun King, which is about a young man sent to jail for dealing guns.  Gun King does raise legit questions but it needed to be a bit longer.

 

The profile of Kim Foxx is good and in depth.

Quick but fun
All About the Burger - George Motz,Sef Gonzalez
Don't let the three star rating deter you, this a well written, enjoyable, every woman/man look at the burger in America. Mostly, it is a history of various hamburger joints, and at times, a look at to changing culture (for instance, the disappearance of HoJo's). Very neat little factoids. There are a few recipes and many memories. Gonzalez's writing style does make you want to visit a hamburger place with him because it must be fun.

If you really love hamburgers, or know someone who does, you should read this book or get it.

Two questions, however -

1. Why isn't the cheesesteak mentioned? I mean if a loose meat sandwich is mentioned as a cousin, shouldn't a cheesesteak? (Look, I'm from Philly, we get defensive). And why isn't the whole Denny's lawsuit not mentioned?

2. This isn't a criticism of Gonzalez but more of a question about the history that Gonzalez relates. The three possible "inventors" of the hamburger are listened as men. And somehow, I am thinking that it was more likely an overworked mother. I mean if the burger is a form of comfort food, where did most comfort food start?

La primera llama
La primera llama - Adrian Gonzalez

Despertarás en un mundo lleno de caos. Tus memorias están perdidas, apenas eres hueso. Te moverás por la tierra media entre preguntas sin respuestas. Cada paso que darás marcara tu destino para siempre. Contigo, llegaras a cargar un peso que no te corresponde, la carne volverá, el sentimiento arderá en tu piel. entonces, ¿te animas a defender el inhóspito mundo que aun queda en pie a punta de tu espada? Piénsalo, porque no hay un camino de regreso.
