Hablamos con Ismael Fernández, el fiel compañero de 'Baldo' y esta preciosa historia que ha traspasado fronterasEl mundo entero ha vivido, durante la pandemia, momentos muy duros. Sobre todo cuando estábamos en casa confinados. Una de las cosas que más echamos de menos fue a nuestros seres queridos. A los que teníamos lejos y que no podíamos ver. Eso mismo le pasó a Ismael Fernández. Por eso, lo primero que hizo cuando pudo salir de casa fue ir a ver a su fiel amiga Baldomera, o Baldo como la llama él. Baldomera es una burrita que echó de menos a su dueño durante el tiempo del confinamiento. Su historia ha sido plasmada en un cuento infantil escrito por Ismael y que ahora ha traspasado fronteras.La Burrita Baldomera ha sido nominada a los Latino Books Awards, algo equivalente, por ejemplo, a los Grammys Latinos. Está entre los 3 finalistas que optan a mejor libro. "El día que contactaron conmigo para escribir un cuento sobre Baldomera, cumplí un sueño como periodista que soy. El libro es una fiel historia de lo que ocurrió en aquel encuentro después de la pandemia". La historia ha calado tanto que el cuento está ya escrito en 6 idiomas. Además, a Ismael le propusieron hasta hacer una película pero lo descartaron porque había...

En este episodio terminamos la dramaturgia del Bórbón y la dejamos lista por si quiere alguien ponerse manos a la obra. Entrevistamos a la ganadora de los Latino Books Awards Carolina Ramos por su obra "Brujas, Brujas" Además Berger y Montero anuncian una gran primicia.

About the book--Sixteen-year-old Camino Rios lives for the summer—especially the first week of June—when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic. But this time, on the day when his plane is supposed to land—like clockwork, Camino arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying people… Roughly 1,500 miles away, in New York City, Yahaira Rios is called to the principal’s office, which is no big deal at first, because a girl who “meets expectations” and never causes trouble doesn’t flinch when she’s summoned. But, when she meets her “Ms. Universe perfect” mother with her hair in rollers waiting to tell her that her father, her hero, has died in a plane crash, her entire world changes.

Mireya Perez-Bustillo reads "Take Off," chapter one of her new and debut novel "Back to Eldorado" ( Floricanto Press, 2020).

I love reading, I have for a long time. I will say that it is funny to think back to when I was a young man in school, I didn’t care to read books at all. Now that I am older, I love to learn and consume as much information as I possibly can. This first podcast includes […]
