Read the passage from “The Latin Deli: An Ars Poetica.” she is the Patroness of Exiles... who spends her days selling canned memories while listening to the Puerto Ricans complain that it would be cheaper to fly to San Juan than to buy a pound of Bustelo coffee here, and to Cubans perfecting their speech of a “glorious return” to Havana... to Mexicans who pass through, talking lyrically of dólares to be made in El Norte— The Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Mexicans in the passage help to create the image that the woman who runs the deli speaks many languages. people often come to the deli to complain. people come to the deli to honor their mothers. Latin American culture is very diverse.
