"My Brother's Keeper" Personal History in the New Yorker

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Prof. Ferrer has written a long article in The New Yorker magazine, "My Brother's Keeper." Using her half-brother, Poly, as the focus of the story, she tells the story of her family's flight from Cuba after Castro came to power. Her brother Poly was left behind and not reunited with the family for some years. Prof. Ferrer reveals much personal information which might be a section to this article.

The article is "My Brother's Keeper" by Ada Ferrer, The New Yorker, March 1, 2021, pp. 26-31. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/03/01/my-brothers-keeper Bluehen (talk) 21:28, 3 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section:

Cite templates will be used where possible.
I prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, rather than "title case".
Links (either direct or indirect) to potentially unreliable or incomplete digitised copies and to booksellers may be removed.

This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 10:51, 30 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
