LIT HUB SPOTLIGHTS YO-YO BOING!
On the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Spanglish novel Yo-Yo Boing!
In the very classical sense, Yo-Yo Boing! is a veritable comedy for our times. Despite its darkness, its eschatology, like Dante’s Commedia, it ends well: with the hope of freedom. It also ends with an eruption of good humor, and so it is no wonder that the title itself refers, among other things, to the Puerto Rican comedian, Luis Antonio Rivera, a.k.a Yoyo Boing.
