Book Reviews of The Moths and Other Stories
Book Review: A Collection that Will Not Let You Down
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to admit it. I bought this book in a rushed in-and-out at a feminist bookstore because of its gorgeous cover. To my delight, the stories within it are as complex and deviant as the painting.
Viramontes' writing is not breezy; it requires attention, especially as the book progresses.
Her subjects are not for the weak at heart. They are raw and offer no excuses or apologies for it.
The sexual ambiguity, the inminent violence, the imposing masculine presence, and the abundance of religion in the culture of Chicano women are all explored to the bone in these stories.
I highly recommend this book.
