Hi! I am a scholar of Caribbean literature, especially the Dominican and Cuban. I want to add some data to the info on the Dominican author Aurora Arias. In 2007 she published a book of short stories called “Emoticons.” Several of the stories published in this collection have been translated into languages like Icelandic, Bengali and francés. In the latter language was translated his story entitled “Parquecito” in an anthology published by Gallimard Publishers, France, in 2010.
Shara – wonderful, thanks for the update!
