This is the anthology that I read in college that has the story about the newlyweds and the neighbor and the birds! (The Quail by Rolf Yngve). I'm so freaking glad I remembered this, it was driving me insane.

You know how many people have been advocating for more reading material where the author is of the same race, ethnicity, or nationality as the reader? And how everyone deserves to read a book with their own voice telling it? I think I finally get it.

This collection of short stories has many well-known authors. I was aware of a few and had read some of their previous material but what touched me was discovering voices and stories so similar to ones I've heard. Not only were there South American authors but some from the US as well. There were many that included that magical realism that I've grown accustomed to in Latin American novels as well as wistful anecdotes, or at least that was the vibe that I got with some of them.

I can't wait to dig deeper into the bibliography of some of the authors that I discovered with this book and hopefully the next person I share my copy with will find something they enjoy as well.
