Pedro's Theory: Reimagining the Promised Land by Marcos Gonsalez

5.0

Part memoir, part cultural and literary criticism, part myth making, Gonsalez has created a text of not just constant reimagining but revising of America as the place of infinite possibilities. Through the work of other writers, Gonsalez inserts himself--a body that was never meant to fit the image of an American--and connects personal anecdotes to how he imagines other people might live, almost like trying to live out fantasies. I find this book hard to place or categorize, which is why I like it so much.
