Ganador del Christopher Isherwood Prize en 2022
Winner of the 2022 Christopher Isherwood Prize NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY - A young poet tells the inspiring story of his migration from El Salvador to the United States at the age of nine in this "gripping memoir" (NPR) of bravery, hope, and finding family Among the 100 Notable Books of 2022 according to The New York Times. «A young poet tells the unforgettable story of his harrowing migrationfrom El Salvador to the United States at the age of nine in this moving, page-turning memoir hailed as "the mythic journey of our era". --Sandra Cisneros Trip. My parents started using that word about a year ago --"one day, you'll take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure."
Javier's adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone except for a group of strangers and a "coyote" hired to lead them to safety, Javier's trip is supposed to last two short weeks. At nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents' arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and deceptions that a wait him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside a group of strangers who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family. A memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito not only provides an immediate and intimate account of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier's story, but it's also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home.
Author Biography
Javier Zamora nació en La Herradura, El Salvador en 1990. Su padre tuvo que huir de su país natal cuando Zamora tenía un año y su madre tuvo que hacer lo mismo poco tiempo después. La Guerra Civil salvadoreña que financió Estados Unidos (1980-1992), los expulsó a ambos en menos de cinco años.
En 1999, Javier emigró también al norte, siguiendo la ruta de Guatemala y México, a través del desierto de Sonora en el último tramo. Después de que un coyote abandonara a su grupo en el Estado de Oaxaca, Javier logró llegar a Arizona con la ayuda de otros migrantes. Su primera colección de historias, Unaccompanied (Copper Canyon Press, septiembre de 2017), explora precisamente cómo la emigración y la guerra civil afectaron a su familia. Zamora fue Becario de Radcliffe en la Universidad de Harvard en el curso 2018-2019 y ha obtenido becas de CantoMundo, Colgate University (Olive B. O'Connor), MacDowell, Macondo, el National Endowment for the Arts, la Fundación de Poesía (Ruth Lilly), la Universidad de Stanford (Stegner), y Yaddo. En 2017, recibió la Beca Literaria Lannan y, en 2016, el Premio Barnes & Noble "Writer for Writers" por su trabajo en la campaña Undocupoets. Javier vive en Tucson, AZ, donde ha escrito sus memorias y una segunda colección de poemas. ABOUT THIS AUTHOR... Javier Zamora was born in La Herradura, El Salvador in 1990. His father fled El Salvador when he was a year old, and his mother when he was about to turn five. Both parents' migrations were caused by the U.S.-funded Salvadoran Civil War (1980-1992). In 1999, Javier migrated through Guatemala, Mexico, and eventually through the Sonoran Desert. After a coyote abandoned his group in Oaxaca, Javier managed to make it to Arizona with the aid of other migrants. His first full-length collection, Unaccompanied (Copper Canyon Press, September 2017), explores how immigration and the civil war have impacted his family. Zamora was a 2018-2019 Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard University and holds fellowships from CantoMundo, Colgate University (Olive B. O'Connor), MacDowell, Macondo, the National Endowment for the Arts, Poetry Foundation (Ruth Lilly), Stanford University (Stegner), and Yaddo. He is the recipient of a 2017 Lannan Literary Fellowship, the 2017 Narrative Prize, and the 2016 Barnes & Noble Writer for Writers Award for his work in the Undocupoets Campaign. Javier lives in Tucson, AZ, where he has written his memoir and a second collection of poems.- In stock, ready to ship
