Legends That Sleep Kick Bogotá at Night is a short story collection that parodies
the gender, moral, and social constructs of Colombian mythology and folklore. Set in
contemporary times, the stories depict slews of grotesque transformations and rituals
happening during plane flights, sibling tomfoolery, neck kisses, social network log-ins,
trips to the family graveyard, conversations with escorts, and waves of town gossip. The
folktale monsters aim to enlist the reader as their accomplice in their quest to fight
against the forces that seek to permanently subdue and marginalize them. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
