The first novel to focus on the postwar influx of Puerto Ricans to New York City, Manhattan Tropics / Trópico en Manhattan was originally published in a Spanish-language edition in 1951. Both a coming-of-age novel and a work about immigration, this cornerstone of Latino literature is now available in a new bilingual edition with a first-ever English translation.
