DESCRIPTION:\nJoin the monthly CDI book club presented by Cross-Cultural Connections. This month we will be celebrating Hispanic Heritage month by reading Crooked Plow by Itamar Vieira Junior\, translated from Portuguese into English by Johnny Lorenz. Please contact pendley@wustl.edu to receive a copy!\n\n\n\nAbout Crooked Plow: Deep in Brazil's neglected Bahia hinterland\, two sisters find an ancient knife beneath their grandmother's bed and\, momentarily mystified by its power\, decide to taste its metal. The shuddering violence that follows marks their lives and binds them together forever.\n\n\n\nHeralded as a new masterpiece and the most important Brazilian novel of this century\, this fascinating and gripping story about the lives of subsistence farmers in the Brazil's poorest region\, three generations after the abolition of slavery in that country is at once fantastic and realist\, covering themes of family\, spirituality\, slavery and its aftermath and political struggle.\n
