Game cards trigger memories, stories in ‘Lotería’

In an institutional room in California, the aptly named Luz ("light") tries to make sense of the trauma and tragedy that has befallen her family. She has only a journal, the presumed attention of You, the God or higher power she addresses, and a deck of Lotería cards.

They're not instruments of divination like tarot cards, but, like the tarot deck, the simple, traditional design of the Lotería cards gives them a touch of the archetypal. (Large images of the cards begin each of his novel's short chapters.) | July 26, 2013  »Read Full Article

George Zimmerman, Florida's most known neighborhood watchman, is trying to get out of debt by selling original artwork on eBay, according to the New York Post and Vanity Fair magazine.

Country music lost one of its finest voices Monday with the death of Ray Price.
