Black Warrior Review@BlackWarriorRev·
Christopher David Rosales’ flash piece “Mix-Tape Obituary,” runner-up in BWR’s 2024 “Creatures” Flash Contest, is now available to read online! Christopher shares his thoughts on the piece & the larger project it is a part of below. “Mix-Tape Obituary is part of my growing collection of works, a short fiction collection and a novel, that find futurist hope in decolonial speculations on Los Angeles County. The works that most inspire me; being the works of Gloria Anzaldúa, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Valeria Luiselli, Lalo Alcaraz, Lorna Dee Cervantes, and film-makers Guillermo Del Toro and Alex Rivera; they inspire me through their radically-inclusive ethos, their rasquache aesthetics, and their lineage of socio-politically & popular-culturally responsive genre-hybridity and satire. They hold a psychic space for the multiple representations of Chicanx/Latinx we see in the dominant history of American film and literature, decolonized by our critical conversations with a growing audience of allies. These works are not solely satire and not science fiction. I think of them as: realer than fiction. There’s a multiplicity of colonial realities (often popularly represented) through which our family stories have survived, and these multiple realities make their way into the being, and thus the work—the societal tongue is firmly in cheek, while across the cosmos the same tongue succeeds in wagging.” We’re honored to share this visionary work with our readers.

The American dream takes on a whole new shape. From the visionary mind of Julio Torres comes PROBLEMISTA, a hilarious and heartfelt comedy about dreaming big and making it in NYC. Starring Julio, Tilda Swinton, RZA, Greta Lee, and narrated by Isabella Rossellini. Coming Soon!

Hollywood has a "pipeline" problem. Latinos make up 18% of the U.S. workforce but only 4% of media executives are Latino. Why is it so hard (particularly for those born in the U.S.) to break into entertainment?? Cris Abrego knows: ⬇️⬇️@latimes latimes.com/entertainment-…

Listening to our President downplay this pandemic which killed both my parents is fucking infuriating.

Played “Paramount-opoly” with my godson. So much fun to see the landmarks of my hometown in the game. I wanted to play “Peaceful-Protest-Opoly” but it seems like all the players just Go To Jail.
