In this book Kathy Taylor examines four novels by contemporary Mexican writers in the context of a theoretical discussion of the writing of both historical and fictional narrative.Latin American narrative was inaugurated with the imaginative creation of the "New World" as seen through European eyes, stories born of the inseparable embrace of history and fiction. Contemporary Mexican writers have reclaimed this tradition while experimenting with new narrative forms and the problematics of writing itself. As one Mexican writer put it, "Novels have become problems." Not only do their novels function as testimonials to socio-historical realities, but the problems of writing and criticism of the genre are incorporated as central themes of the works themselves.In Mexico, where the burdens of the past seem to dominate the present to the point of obsession, the writing of a story becomes for many writers a question of how to write history. While the writing and rewriting of history is a recurrent theme of these narratives (which cannot easily be defined as novels), the texts themselves contain the (hi)stories of their own creation. The reader of these texts is placed in a role reminiscent of that of the historian, whose task it is to reconstruct a story from fragments of other texts. Thus, both writer and reader become involved in the creation and recreation of art with its new visions and different versions of an historical reality.The works chosen for study here represent very different approaches to this common trend in contemporary Mexican writing. The documentary "socio-literature" of Elena Poniatowska's La noche de Tlatelolco (1971) contrasts with the fictionalized testimonies in Elena Garro's Testimonios sobre Mariana (1980). Jose Emilio Pacheco's Moriras lejos (1967) involves complex forms of fiction and allegory while Federico Campbell's Pretexta (1979) is a textual maze of authorial masks and layers of fiction. While analyzing these novels and the stories they tell, this book raises questions such as: What is history? What is the relationship between the histories we write and the stories we invent? How does the historian/writer become part of the story?Thus, the common theme of the writing of narrative - narrative as history, and narrative as fiction - is threaded throughout these diverse works. While reflecting the reality of the postmodern world in which it is produced, this writing reveals with its internal mirrors the premises and structures with which we interpret and "invent" our surrounding reality. It also points to the past as something that cannot be changed, but must continually be rediscovered if we are to understand who we are and might become. Invention and discovery, remembering and rewriting; that's how the story begins.

Author and former teacher Kathy Gilbert Taylor explores the topic of healing and the miraculous power of God’s redemption in her new book With Great Mercy. Drawing from the author’s own personal account of her day-to-day challenges with debilitating pain, Taylor motivates readers to recognize God’s healing power, even when situations appear to be hopeless. Also examined in With Great Mercy is what Scripture communicates about the often-misunderstood concept of divine healing. Written in an easy-to-read devotional style, With Great Mercy includes study questions at the end of each chapter that allow readers to glean greater insight of God’s love for the sick.

Trees and Other Witnesses

Trees are silent witnesses to the passing of time, guardians of myth and memory, metaphors of life. Each story in this collection has a tree of particular importance to its characters and their communities. These are tales of childhood and imagination, of migration and struggle, conflict and change. They are about specific places in Mexico, Nicaragua and the U.S., and real and imagined sites of cultural encounter, growth and adaptation. As the characters in these stories grapple with the forces of nature and the entanglement of human relationships, the trees are their companions and touchstones, reflecting, and at times shaping, the experience of their lives. These stories follow the roots and inner journeys of a variety of characters, while embodying a deep respect for the natural world around them and the power of its imagery to structure the meaning of their perceptions.

The Birthing House

The Birthing House is a novel of literary fiction about writing, memory and belonging.Themes of birth and becoming, trauma and time, are woven into a text in love with language. Deeply drawn characters struggle against powerful obstacles to their lives and identities as they make difficult choices to move forward.\nThe novel follows a woman’s journey of healing and discovery through her writing. It features explorations of heart, mind, and body, richly textured with friendships, memories, dreams, and layers of philosophy and history. Two timelines alternate, twenty years apart. In 1980, after a recent miscarriage, Clare Muller arrives in the fairytale town of Marburg, Germany with her husband and six-year-old son. She faces the adventures and challenges of living in a different language and culture and eventually with a new pregnancy. In 2000, she and her husband return as mid-career professors, following the sudden death of Clare’s beloved father. They live in a house that had once belonged to a midwife and had been the birthing house for many in the surrounding area. As the house releases the years of stories embedded in its walls, it becomes a home for Clare and a catalyst for her writing. Her grief fades, her world expands and a book is born.\nThis novel grew out of the author's own experience living in Marburg in the early 1980’s and again in 2001. It is in part a love story to this medieval town and its role in Germany’s moving from the trauma of the Nazi years to becoming a haven of diversity for immigrants, refugees, and the blind from around the world.
