Michelle Cliff’s third novel, Free Enterprise is an amazing narrative woven from the stray threads of footnotes. This is a novel I’ve had in my posession for several years but was “afraid” to read for some time. But bits of it turned up in my dreams, and today I read the whole thing in seven hours. I’ve got to let it steep for a while. I see the interconnectedness of Women of Color linking to the fiction of Alicia Gaspar de Alba, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Graciela Limon. A Masterwork, truly.
