Winner for the 2021 Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian FictionWinner of the 2021 Ferro-Grumley Literary Award for LGBTQ FictionFinalist for the 2020 Kirkus Prize for FictionLit by the hormonal neon glow of Miami, this debut novel follows a Colombian teenager's coming-of-age as she plunges headfirst into lust and evangelism.Uprooted from her comfortable life in Bogotá, Colombia, into an ant-infested Miami townhouse, fifteen-year-old Francisca is miserable and friendless in her strange new city. Her alienation grows when her mother is swept up into an evangelical church, replete with Christian salsa, abstinent young dancers, and baptisms for the dead.But there, Francisca also meets the magnetic Carmen: opinionated and charismatic, head of the youth group, and the pastor’s daughter. As her mother’s mental health deteriorates and her grandmother descends into alcoholism, Francisca falls more and more intensely in love with Carmen. To get closer to her, Francisca turns to Jesus to be saved, even as their relationship hurtles toward a shattering conclusion.“Ebullient and assertive.” —New York Times"Juli Delgado Lopera—remember that name—is an irreverent, shameless and disarming new novelist. They are a merciless satirist in control of a pitch-perfect voice that makes an indisputable case for Spanglish as the perfect vehicle to express what we are really like right now." —NBC News

Book Fiebre Tropical: A Novel Review :



No, not Spanglish. Please don't say Spanglish. Much better than that: the mostly-English duolingo of a smartass fifteen-year old on the cusp of gayness boils all over her mom's mostly-Spanish Evangelical plaint. Francisca's story is a story of immigration at the frazzled edges of the Colombian diaspora, with deep flashbacks into her mother's youth in the cocaine boom of the 1980's . Being married to a Bogotana, I can say Delgado Lopera's loving mockery of cachaco attitudes and speech is beyond praise. She has a superpower for talk and lulz.You don't strictly need to know Spanish to fall in love with Juli Delgado Lopera, but if you do, Fiebre Tropical will make your neurons sizzle with pure linguistic joy.
Juliana Lopera Delgado’s Fiebre Tropical is a coming-of-age story involving a young woman’s journey from Colombia to South Florida. As such, it is an immigrant’s story, but it is so much more. I leave it to others to comment on the religious and other themes present in the story itself; what interests me here is Delgado’s linguistic achievement: the first novel in English with a Colombian sensibility. Of course there are, and have been, many other Colombian writers; for its size, Colombia punches above its weight. Best known of course, is the Colombian Nobel Prize winner, Gabriel Garcia Márquez, but there are others: Jorge Franco, Mario Mendoza, Santiago Gamboa, Marvel Moreno. All of these, though, wrote in Spanish. There are but a few Colombian writers who chose English as a medium of expression; perhaps chief amongst them is Sergio de la Pava, whose A Naked Singularity is very much a New York tale, and not so much a Colombian one.In Fiebre, Colombia is a character--if not one of the protagonists--of Delgado’s novel. Colombia infuses the novel with a sense of place and atmosphere; the language refuses to let go. The narrator, Francisca, is aware of the struggle between two languages that eventually make peace with each other, as she makes peace with whom she is to be herself.Junot Diaz, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, noted that non-Hispanic readers never complain when a text is littered with words in Klingon or Elvish, but complain loudly upon finding Spanish. Spanish is not littered throughout the text, it is a very much living and breathing part of it.I don’t recall reading any book written in the lingua franca of South Florida. Books written in English miss something. As do books written in Spanish. Jorge Luis Borges famously pointed out that two languages are not merely a collection of linguistic equivalencies; they are different ways of ordering reality. How else, then, to approach the reality of South Florida than with its two languages, languages that have mixed to the point that both are commonly heard--even in the same sentence. When reading Fiebre, I thought, how could this be translated? At first I thought this might be an achievement along the lines of Finnegans Wake, Joyce’s seventeen years in the making last novel. But no, in a way, Fiebre is already translated. I don’t know how you would translate it into Spanish--flipping the language simply wouldn’t work. You could be creative and translate this immigrant’s tale into Arabic with French as the second language; or perhaps French with English. Or you could say, this is a language in the process of becoming, of formation, of realization, just like Francisca’s own character. Or perhaps my first instinct, that the text defies translation, is correct.For those who can speak the lingua franca of South Florida, Fiebre Tropical is a treasure.Those who have any connection at all with Colombia will find an even richer experience, one that at times made me laugh out loud. Highly recommended.
