Abstract: Foreword by Tey Diana Rebolledo. English version of Puppet. She was always inclined to romanticism. He looked like a wooden doll with strings, like a puppet. You´ve never done anything. Memories of the dark. Beatiful eyes, granites eyes. Blood, like it was just yesterday. Remember? Do you remember. A letter from María. It´s been ages since you´ve written. The truth is that. Malinche´s discourse. It´s that we´re in the last days. How it was that night. One and one are three. I´ll be waiting for your call. Spanish version of Puppet other side.Abstract: Originally published in Spanish and now in its first bilingual edition, Puppet is a complex, challenging, and ultimately compelling narrative. It tells the story of Petra (Pat) Leyva and how she comes to terms with the murder of Puppet, a Chicano youth, and the subsequent police cover-up. Already an underground classic, Puppet will appeal to readers interested in the politics of the Chicano movement and in racial and feminist politics in the United States. The bilingual edition will be welcomed by professors who teach American Studies, Chicano Studies, and Chicana literature.
