En su nueva memoria, la clamada autora de Cuando era puertorriquea continua su cautivante crnica describiendo su salida de los barrios de Brooklyn a los teatros de Manhattan.Negi, como cariosamente la llama su familia, deja Macn, un campo de Puerto Rico, en 1961 para vivir en un apartamento de tres habitaciones en un proyecto de viviendas, con siete hermanas y hermanos pequeos, una abuela preguntona, y una mama estricta que no la dejaba salir con muchachos. A los trece aos, Negi aora su propia cama, privacidad, y una vida con su padre, quien permanece en Puerto Rico con su nueva esposa. Mientras traduce para Mami en la oficina del Welfare por la maana, hace el papel de Cleopatra en el prestigioso Performing Arts High School de Nueva York por las tardes, y baila salsa toda la noches, Negi ansia lograr un equilibrio entre ser norteamericana y ser puertorriquea. Cuando desafa a su madre al salir en una serie de graciossimas citas, Negi descubre que la independencia trae consigo sus propios retos.Una conmovedora historia universal sobre la llegada a la mayora de edad, a la vez que una valiente y sincera historia de inmigrantes, Casi una mujer es el triunfal camino de Santiago a hacerse mujer.Una historia universal, familiar para miles de inmigrantes a este pas, pero transformada en algo especial por la sencillez y honestidad de Santiago. The Miami HeraldTraduccin de Nina TorresVidalENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA simultaneous Spanishlanguage edition, originally translated for Vintage by Nina TorresVidalIn her new memior, the acclaimed author of When I Was Puerto Rican continues the riveting chronicle of her life.'Negi,' as Santiago's family affectionately calls her, leaves rural Macun in 1961 to live in a threebedroom tenement apartment with seven siblings, and inquisitive grandmother, and a strict mother who won't allow her to date. At thirteen, Negi yearns for her own bed, for privacy, and her father, who remains in Puerto Rico. Translating for Mami at the welfare office in the morning, starring as Cleopatra at New York's Performing Arts High School in the afternoon, and dancing salsa all night, she also seeks to find balance between being an American and Puerto Rican. When Negi defies her mother by going on a series of dates, she finds that independence brings challenges.At once a universally poignant comingofage tale and a heartfelt immigrant's story, Almost a Woman is Santiago's triumphant journey into womanhood.
