Episode description

Gabriela Garcia’s debut novel 𝑢𝒇 π‘Ύπ’π’Žπ’†π’ 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑺𝒂𝒍𝒕 chronicles the lives of a Cuban matriarchal family line that spans over five generations bringing their story to present-day Miami, Florida. Garcia masterfully examines the mother/daughter relationship through Carmen and her daughter Jeanette, a recovering drug addict. Jeanette takes in a neighbor’s child after witnessing the child’s mother being taken away by ICE.

Gabriela Garcia joins us on the Vulgar Geniuses Podcast to talk about how this novel’s origin story found its way through a series of short stories to become one of 2021’s most celebrated works.
