Descriere Dichos En Nichos - Sage Vogel

\nSage Vogel's debut story collection invites readers into the heart of an archetypal 1950s Northern New Mexico village, where the fruit orchards, arroyo roads, adobe homes, and even pigsties hold tales of wit, romance, woe, and wisdom. \n \nDichos en Nichos contains ten interconnected stories inspired by original dichos--pithy folk sayings and proverbs. Vogel's dichos--presented in both Spanish and English--are shared among a colorful cast of characters. The dichos offer guidance, caution, and comfort as the townsfolk navigate themes of identity, community, loss, and love. From tales of sacrifice and survival to those of intimacy and independence, each story is a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit. \n \nCreated in collaboration with each story is a nicho--an oil painting set in an antique frame--created by renowned Southwestern artists Christen Vogel and Jim Vogel. These fine artworks serve as both vibrant altars and vivid windows into a village brimming with the dynamic rhythms of life, from poetry and music to tragedy and scandal. \n \nDichos en Nichos is captivating and immersive. It invites readers to explore the heart and soul of a distinct setting in a bygone era. Through its inspired blend of vernacular language, compelling themes, and masterful artwork, this small volume will leave an enduring, endearing impression on all who enter its beautifully crafted and wholly unforgettable world.\n
