Jacqueline Herranz-Brooks

Jacqueline Herranz Brooks studied photography in Havana and became a writer by accident. She is the author of Liquid Days (TribalSong, 1997), Escenas para turistas (Editorial Campana, 2003) and Mujeres sin trama (Editorial Campana, 2011). Her work has also been published in anthologies such as Dream with no Name. Contemporary Fiction from Cuba (Seven Stories Press, 1997), Aquí me tocó escribir. Antología de escritores latinos en Nueva York (Trabe, 2006), Dos orillas. Voces en la narrative lésbica (Egales Editorial, 2008) and Nosotras dos. Antología homoerótica femenina (Ediciones Unión, 2011). Jacqueline’s work explores the process of fictionalization of memory and the construction of textual authorial identities, the deconstruction of the lesbian as a perverse subject, the representation of eroticism and homoerotic desire. Among her other interests are the literature produced in Spanish in the United States, street poetry, and urban photography.
