A Rainha do Desastre: A romance de escritório
by Miriam MezaQuando sua mãe é uma louca obcecada pela sorte e seu pai é o típico hippie, com cabelo comprido e o corpo cheio de tatuagens, é possível que você não seja o que a sociedade tende a qualificar como normal. Mas tudo bem porque, no final das contas, o normal além de fugir totalmente do DNA da minha família é entediante para caramba. Aprendi o significado da palavra desastre muito cedo. Era algo para o que parecia ter um talento especial. Se se tratasse de um concurso, eu seria a rainha. Acredito que minha mãe inclusive tem guardada minha coroa em algum lugar. Sem embargo, e apesar de meus antecedentes, acabei como colunista em uma revista, oferecendo conselhos sobre romance e relacionamentos. Meu trabalho é incrível, se me perguntam. O único problema é a montanha de músculos enfiada em ternos fora de moda com quem divido o cubículo: Samuel Mendoza. * * * Eu não tinha tempo para o romance. Minha vida estava planejada milimetricamente, e as mudanças de última hora não tinham espaço em minha agenda. Tampouco tinha espaço para loiras perigosas com sérias tendências ao desastre. Não, definitivamente não tinha tempo para Melina Gonzáles, por isso recorri a um método de sete passos para mantê-la a uma distância segura. Mas alguns planos estão destinados ao fracasso, alguns muros foram levantados para cair, e alguns segredos não permanecem guardados por muito tempo. Ainda que desejasse que não fosse meu caso, não tinha certeza de poder continuar resistindo à imprevisível loira com quem dividia o cubículo. “Isto tem a palavra desastre escrita por todos os lados. E em maiúsculo.”

A Raisin in the Sun
by Lorraine Hansberry"Never before, the entire history of the American theater, has so much of the truth of black people's lives been seen on the stage," observed James Baldwin shortly before A Raisin in the Sun opened on Broadway in 1959.Indeed Lorraine Hansberry's award-winning drama about the hopes and aspirations of a struggling, working-class family living on the South Side of Chicago connected profoundly with the psyche of black America--and changed American theater forever. The play's title comes from a line in Langston Hughes's poem "Harlem," which warns that a dream deferred might "dry up/like a raisin in the sun.""The events of every passing year add resonance to A Raisin in the Sun," said The New York Times. "It is as if history is conspiring to make the play a classic."
