Ramos Villar, C. (2022) Storying the "I" of community, or how the community is shaped by stories in José Francisco Costa’s Mar e tudo. Gávea-Brown—A Bilingual Journal of Portuguese-North American Letters and Studies, 46. pp. 106-120. ISSN 2641-0400
Abstract
This essay will first analyse Mar e tudo (1998) by José Francisco Costa as an American short story cycle that shapes the Azorean American community for the reader. Analysing Mar e tudo as an American short story cycle, as this essay concludes, uncovers how the collection contributes to the specificity of the Azorean American experience, and also forms part of a wider project of understanding the US as a nation made up by individual ethnic stories which combine.
