A stream of consciousness narrative following the last year of undocumented Catalina's time at Harvard. Catalina's voice is poetic and wise and full of nonsense and dramatic and loving and selfish and heartbreaking. She was always vulnerably and unforgettably herself even as she barreled towards a future where she knew she would be forgotten. There was not bright future or dream job in her prospects without papers and you fluctuate with her from anger and angst to humorous nihilism and detachment about the cliff she's about to be pushed over, the friends and lovers who will soon leave her behind. Catalina is a book I'll be thinking about for a long time. I also was initially upset but eventually understanding about the ambiguity of the ending. Why should we have closure and certainty when Catalina must live in a constant state of uncertainty.
Mira Catalina, you are never going to have to ask a man for money. You are never going to have to extend your hand and ask for a coffee or a sanitary napkin or a home. You have to promise me
I want to sell out and work for a hedge fund like everybody else
It's a powerful thing to be an object, but it's boring. All you have to do is sit there. His affection lasted only as long as I remained silent.
