    About this audiobook

    This program is read by a full cast.

    Edited by The Bronx Is Reading founder Saraciea J. Fennell and featuring an all-star cast of Latinx contributors, Wild Tongues Can’t Be Tamed is a ground-breaking anthology that will spark dialogue and inspire hope

    In Wild Tongues Can’t Be Tamed, bestselling and award-winning authors as well as up-and-coming voices interrogate the different myths and stereotypes about the Latinx diaspora. These fifteen original pieces delve into everything from ghost stories and superheroes, to memories in the kitchen and travels around the world, to addiction and grief, to identity and anti-Blackness, to finding love and speaking your truth. Full of both sorrow and joy, Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed is an essential celebration of this rich and diverse community.

    The bestselling and award-winning contributors include Elizabeth Acevedo, Cristina Arreola, Ingrid Rojas Contreras, Naima Coster, Natasha Diaz, Saraciea J. Fennell, Kahlil Haywood, Zakiya Jamal, Janel Martinez, Jasminne Mendez, Meg Medina, Mark Oshiro, Julian Randall, Lilliam Rivera, and Ibi Zoboi.

    A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books

    "Through this audiobook listeners will discover that the Latinx diaspora is much more diverse than they realized while at the same time showing them parallels to their own lives."- AudioFile Magazine (Earphones Award Winner)

    "A tremendously thought-provoking (re)construction of Latinx experiences." -- Kirkus

    Editor's Note

    Some of the biggest Latinx YA authors…

    Fifteen wild tongues, wandering hearts, and worldly souls write about their personal experiences with the Latin American diaspora in this collection. Just as identity exists in a state of flux and is always being actively shaped, these essays experiment with form for further insight. It includes nonfiction works from some of the biggest Latinx YA authors, including Elizabeth Acevedo, Mark Oshiro, and Ibi Zoboi.

      Excellent! Never have I read in one place so many different Afro Latinx writers speak about their experiences growing up and moving through the world as being black people and Latinx. l enjoyed listening to these awesome writer's unique voices.
