Buying into the dream that education is the road out of poverty, a teen mom takes a chance on bettering herself, gets on welfare rolls, and talks her way into college. But once she's there, phallocratic narratives permeate every subject, and creative writing professors depend heavily on Freytag's pyramid to analyze life. So Ariel turns to a rich subcultural canon of resistance and failure, populated by writers like Audre Lorde, Tillie Olsen, and Kathy Acker. Wryly riffing on feminist literary tropes, We Were Witches documents the survival of a demonized single mother.

I have come to suspect that life is magical. How else do you explain the language that has grown up about it: serendipity, coincidence, déjà vu, foresight, extrasensory?

For many years, I forgot how to see magic. But, now that I have finally and fortunately discovered it again, let me tell you the strange story of the wizard in the wood. If you’re lucky, it might change your life.

Los Cinco y yo es una novela arrebatadoramente original que unas veces se disfraza de memorias de infancia y otras de inquietante ficción de denuncia para pasar de la anécdota a la sátira y de esta a una teoría personal de la narración. Antonio Orejudo rinde homenaje y al mismo tiempo ajusta cuentas con su generación, la de los nacidos en el boom demográfico de los años sesenta, que no tuvo ningún protagonismo en la transición de la dictadura a la democracia.
