Overview
Fiction. Alma Luz Villanueva's collection of short stories, WEEPING WOMAN: LA LLORONA AND OTHER STORIES, presents a vision as dangerous and as compelling as a solar eclipse. Readers of these stories may find Villanueva's world very disturbing, torn between the instinct to look tragedy in the face and the need to turn away. The characters in WEEPING WOMAN live in an environment ravaged by violence, racism, and sexism, all forces that distort and, in some cases, destroy. Villanueva's vision is not entirely pessimistic, however. Through their voices and their actions, these characters reveal that they do possess the strength and spirituality to triumph.
