Roser Caminals is a celebrated Catalan author, her most popullar book has been translated into English as The Street of the Three Beds as has her first novel, Once Remembered, Twice Lived, and her translation of the Spanish classic by Emilia Pardo Bazan, The House of Ulloa. Since 1981 Caminals has lived in Frederick, Marryland, as a Professor of Foreign Languages at Hood College. The American Secution is her translation of her memoir first published to high praise in Barcelona. It recounts her life in the United States and her many travels across the country. The book captures both the "seduction " of Middle America and the numerous thing her foreign eye spots as distinctive. She sees both what to admire and so criticize, and she does so eloquently. Perhaps most impressive iss the way the author uses her novelist's skills to depict a series of memorable people she meets, with a pitch-perfect ear for their voices and an acute ability to depict their characters. No one who reads this book will forget the places she visits or the people she meets or the fluencey of her polished prose. Signed by Author(s).
