peel.jpgPeel My Love Like an Onion by Ana Castillo is one of the most worn books in my personal library. This fictional narrative of Chicana love, disability, and the struggle to fit in through those lenses is one of the most beautifully written books I have read, that I often return to it, not just because of it’s very real portrayal of modern love and lust but because of the way the words read off the paper, as if your amiga were relating what has happened to her. The her in this case is Carmen “la Coja” Santos, a Chicana flamenco dancer.
