About the Author:
Silvio Sirias is originally from Los Angeles, where he grew up until the age of eleven, when his parents then moved to Nicaragua, their country of origi
n. This move was, without a doubt, the most significant milestone in Sirias’ life as it shaped the bicultural and bilingual way in which he perceives the world. As an adolescent living in Nicaragua, he learned that Central America is full of wondrous, and often heartbreaking, stories. During those years, the realms of politics, family life, literature, and spirituality became of particular interest to him.
About Meet Me Under the Ceiba
Through stories and gossip that expose
jealousies, scandals, and misfortunes, Sirias lovingly portrays the community of La Curva, Nicaragua, in all its evil and goodness. The winner of the Chicano / Latino Literary Prize, this spellbinding novel captures the essence of a world rarely seen in American literature.
