At Spanish-language bookstore, Obama gets rave reviews

October
24

In the Spanish-language bookstore Librería Ficciones, in Port Chester, one book is displayed quite prominently: “La Audacia de la Esperanza,” by Barack Obama. The front door is covered with a “Westchester for Obama” sign.

Paula Farrier, above, runs the store and edits the Port Chester paper América Latina, a publication of Westmore News. Normally the paper wouldn’t make an endorsement, she said, but she decided that this year would be different. An editorial in América Latina says Obama has the potential to end the nation’s conflict over race, religion and culture, while John McCain has backed away from progressive positions because of his party’s conservative base. The NYC-based El Diario newspaper also endorsed Obama.

The other day a Chilean customer was perusing the Spanish version of Obama’s “The Audacity of Hope.” Her eye went straight to its subtitle: “Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.”
