The Mixquiahuala Letters by Ana Castillo, Ma, Anchor edition, in English. The Mixquiahuala Letters. Ana Castillo. Anchor Books, - Fiction - pages. 2 Reviews. A wonderful, wonderful book. --Maxine Hong Kingston. Focusing on the relationship between two fiercely independent women--Teresa, a writer, and Alicia, an artist--this epistolary novel was written as a tribute to Julio Cortázar's Hopscotch and examines.
The main relationship explored in The Mixquiahuala Letters is the enduring friendship between Teresa and Alicia, a friendship that is made by “allegiance in good faith/passion bound/by uterine comprehension. In sisterhood. In solidarity” (Castillo, p. 24). While this relationship is clearly the focus of the novel, many other relationships are explored in this context, with letters written to Alicia from Teresa serving as the frame through which the reader is let into their worlds. The Mixquiahuala Letters, Castillo’s well-known epistolary novel, directly links the discourse on women’s oppression to the colonial past, through the Letters that Teresa writes to Alicia, apparently recalling the journey that the two mestizas took ten years before, when in their twenties, these two women headed to Mexico leaving behind the liberal atmosphere of their birthplace, the United States.
