Latina Wants You to be the Perfect Lover
18 Oct 2005
Mabel Iam, a Latina in Miami by way of Argentina, makes a bold entrance into the Anglo-American literary world with her first book to be translated into English: Sex and the Perfect Lover. The self-help book offering tips about sex and love based in the ancient Eastern traditions of Tantra, Tao, and the Kama Sutra, was first published in English in 2003 under the Llewellyn imprint. Now in October it was republished with a sexy new look thanks to Atria Books, a division of Simon and Shuster.
While the book is not specifically aimed towards a Latino audience, it is refreshing to have a Latina willing to step out of the Puta/Madonna paradigm and write about sex in a candid and intelligent way. And anyway, who doesn’t want to add a little more sabor in the bedroom and be a perfect lover?
Mabel Iam is touring the country with her book. Be sure to check out her website to find out when she will be near you and also to learn about her other books and work around issues of el amor y el sexo.

Dreaming in Cuban Writer Garcia is Dreaming of her New Book Deal

Cuban born and NYC raised writer, Cristina Garcia, just signed a deal for an undisclosed amount with publisher Knopf, a division of Random House. The deal is for Garcia’s fourth book, titled A Handbook to Luck. The story unfolds in Cuba, Iran, Salvador, and the U.S and deals with themes seen in her previous books, Dreaming in Cuban,The Aguero Sisters,and Monkey Hunting, namely the immigrant experience.
I have truly enjoyed all of Garcia’s books so far and congratulate her on the deal and wish her continued success. Make sure you go out and buy the book when it is released. I know I will. And in the meantime, catch up on reading her previous books.
