Episode 6 | Olga Dies Dreaming - Xotchil Gonzalez

BCLF Cocoa Pod

A blazing talent debuts with the tale of a status-driven wedding planner grappling with her social ambitions, absent mother, and Puerto Rican roots―all in the wake of Hurricane Maria
Set against the backdrop of New York City in the months surrounding the most devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico’s history, Xochitl Gonzalez’s Olga Dies Dreaming is a story that examines political corruption, familial strife, and the very notion of the American dream―all while asking what it really means to weather a storm.
The Brooklyn Caribbean Literary Festival is honoured to present author, Xochitl Gonzales reading an excerpt from Olga Dies Dreaming in commemoration of the book’s release.
