Yolanda García??Yo, for short??is the literary one in the family. Her first published novel, in which uses as characters practically everyone she knows, was a big success. Now she??s basking in the spotlight while those ??characters? find their very recognizable selves dangling in that same blinding light. But turnabout is fair play, and so here, Yolanda García??s family and friends tell the truth about Yo. Her three sisters, her Mami and Papi, her grandparents, tías, tíos, cousins, housemaids, her third husband: they take turns telling their side of the story, ripping into Yo and in the process creating their own endearing self-portraits.
 
At once funny and poignant, intellectual and gossipy, lighthearted and layered, ¡Yo! is above all a portrait of the artist. And with its bright colors, passion, and penchant for controversy, it??s a portrait that could come only from th

Yolanda Garcia, also known as Yo, leaves an impression on those who know or meet her. Each person, in turn, describes how Yo has impacted his or her life in such a way that the reader gets to know Yo without actually meeting her.

It's worth reading the stories of Yo's family, friends, and acquaintances to find out how this is so vividly, affectionately, and cleverly done Each chapter is a mini-novel unto itself. ( )

Each chapter looked at Yolanda from a different character's point of view so you saw her through many different eyes and at different times of her life. I didn't like it nearly as much as How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents which has the same characters, but it was an enjoyable read. ( )

A book I read 13 years ago and still remember. ( )

This is a collection of short stories about Yolanda Garcia (we first met her in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents) told from the perspectives of various peoople in her life. The stories are often humourous with a tinge of sadness, revealing Yo's journey from precocious child, to a rebellious teen, to a somewhat confused and unfocused adult. We come to see that she is a challenging daughter, a loving a sister, a courageous and loyal friend and lover, an idealistic activist, and ultimately, an artist. The book still brings tears to my eyes, even after double-digit readings. ( )
