Lotería by Mario Alberto Zambrano

Loteria_cover_webLotería, by Mario Alberto Zambrano, graduate, the Riggio: Writing and Democracy program at The New School.

HarperCollins, 2014

Barnes & Noble

Struggling to cope as her family falls apart, eleven-year-old Luz María Castillo retreats into her beloved set of lotería cards — a Mexican game featuring riddles and vibrant images. Each card represents a different memory, and as Luz shuffles through the deck, she weaves her recollections into a compelling story of love, loyalty, tragedy, and hope.

By turns affecting and inspiring, Lotería is a powerful novel that heralds the arrival of an outstanding writer, one who reminds us of the importance of remembering even when we are trying to forget.
