Peer-Reviewed Book

   Morning Note

This is a collection of 15 short stories about Puerto Rican traditions that have been lost or are disappearing. My purpose is not to present a nostalgic view  but to depict   the monstrosity of some cultural practices. More importantly, my short stories do not aim to entertain as much as they seek to pose ‘research questions’ to readers   regarding violence, body mutilation, and mortuary celebrations.
