Book Reviews of City of Palaces: Poems
Book Review: A stunning mini-portrait of Mexico. A sensitve translation
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fascinating look at a little-known side of Mexico from the perspective of a Polish-born Mexican writing in Yiddish. Illustrated by Diego Riviera, Berliner writes with energy and emotion. A wonderful combination of Jewish sensitivity and Mexican passion. The sensitive translation makes City of Palaces a joy to read and the kind of book that will rest on my bedside table when in need of inspiration.
