I No Longer Like Chocolates
CRÍTICAS
«In the literature of the Azorean archipelago, emigration, particularly to America—has long held a place of prominence. Among the most comprehensive and significant works on this theme is I No Longer Like Chocolates by Alamo Oliveira, widely regarded as the first great novel on Azorean emigration. A writer deeply connected to the Azorean diaspora, especially in California, Oliveira has devoted much of his work to exploring the dilemmas of emigration. From the outset, his writings, whether in theater, poetry, or narrative fiction—have scrutinized the Azorean experience in the fabled land of Eldorado, capturing both the dreams of those who depart and the longing of those left behind. His creative universe brims with allusions to the Diaspora and its profound impact on the culture of the islands’ people—those scattered across the nine islands of the mid-Atlantic, as well as the symbolic tenth island on the North American continent. In I No Longer Like Chocolates, Oliveira vividly portrays the trials and triumphs of life in L(USA)land, illuminating the complex realities of Azorean emigrants in their search for a better future».
