Description
- Abstract:
- This essay will first analyse Mar e tudo (1998) by José Francisco Costa as an American short story cycle that shapes the Azorean American community for the reader. Analysing Mar e tudo as an American short story cycle, as this essay concludes, uncovers how the collection contributes to the specificity of the Azorean American experience, and also forms part of a wider project of understanding the US as a nation made up by individual ethnic stories which combine.

Analisando Mar e tudo como um ciclo de contos americano, como este ensaio conclui, descortina como a coleção de contos contribui para a especificidade da experiência açoriana americana, e também faz parte de um projeto mais amplo de compreensão dos EUA como uma nação composta por histórias étnicas individuais que se combinam.
