Giannina Braschi Dossier

The dossier highlights the work of writer Giannina Braschi, Puerto Rican by birth and a New Yorker by adoption. As Manuel Broncano rightly tells us, Giannina Braschi can be seen as ‘a Nuyorican poet, a Latinx philosopher, a postmodern novelist, a social satirist, a magical realist, a feminist, a post-dramatic playwright…’ and many other things besides. Braschi, like all those who master an unclassifiable style of writing, is all these things and none of them at once. We will let our readers decide if these varied titles fit or not when it comes to understanding her writing. In this dossier, our readers will find writing by Broncano along with Nuria Morgado and Sarah Ahmad, as well as an excerpt from Putinoika by Braschi herself.
