The House on Big Apple Street: A Novel

Racism, classism, and homophobia: Always perpetrated by an oppressive hegemony. Is it? The novel THE HOUSE ON BIG APPLE STREET explores the subject of intra-racial, religious and class prejudice as it manifests itself in the interactions of a Latino family during the weekend of a wedding reception, compounded by the complexities of the tensive resentment that controls a mother-daughter relationship. Set in New York City between the end of the sixties and the months prior to the attack on the World Trade Center, the plot presents a love story while it digs into the intricacies of cultural assimilation and the long-lasting impact of familial dysfunction.
