Quiereme

by Juliana Delgado Lopera

There's really no literal translation of "Quiéreme;" it's in between "like me{ and "love me" but, unlike in English, the verb does all the work--it's all in one a command packed with feeling; a want; a little ball full of longing. And that's basically what this book a little thing full of longing (and essays). In Spanglish. From loving imaginary people in Catholic school, to waiting for a lover's tears at the airport, to documenting post-breakup grief, Quiéreme is a call on all the lingering ghosts of loving.

This book of personal essays about immigration and family and love charms with its humor and poignancy. Sort of reads like the downpayment on a full-length memoir.
