By Yvette Benavides| Texas Public Radio (San Antonio, TX) Verified Potions. Part poem. Part fiction. There are 75 potions in this Book of Potions. So what are they, these genre-bending vignettes? When you go in to read them, you’ll fall right in, and it really won’t matter what you call them. Let’s call them potions. They are like prose poems, like narratives that move with speed and urgency, with candor and metaphor. The speaker most times is a woman navigating the things that come in the middle of life. She isn’t young, but she isn’t old.
By Yvette Benavides| Texas Public Radio (San Antonio, TX) Verified The setting is Three Rivers, Texas. The year is 2038. An industrialist named Pablo Henry Crick is the mayor of the town that’s become a surreal wasteland where reading books is against the law and the women work as indentured laborers at a fish cannery. The atmosphere is poisoned. The people are poor and under the thumb of Crick—who only gets rich in all of this. Neftalí is the last of the literate citizens in the town. She hides books and she reads books.
