Prado that traces her life and identity through intimate recollection. The writing centers on Chicana punk ballad energy, confronting trauma, loss, and illness while also pursuing perseverance and healing. Across topics such as anorexia, family and father-daughter relationships, and lived experiences of growing up Latina, the essays build a radical, piece-by-piece storytelling form that invites empathy, self-recovery, and voice.","Praise for FUNERAL FOR FLACA  \n“I felt these essays deep in my heart.

Funeral for Flaca does so fearlessly and generously: Emilly Prado’s writing is a panorama of the often harsh landscape that made her a storyteller, and of the bonds—of family, culture, self-knowledge, and justice—that propel her forward.” —Andi Zeisler, author and Bitch Media co-founder  \n“Emilly Prado’s Funeral For Flaca is fierce, funny, intelligent, and vulnerable.

Funeral for Flaca is here to remind us: there is a woman lying dormant inside every girl.” —Margaret Malone, author of People Like You  \n“Funeral for Flaca isn’t just stories—it’s also a mixtape, delivering beautifully-rendered stories to a soundtrack. The book shares experiences that anyone who’s been a kid could recognize.”  \n—“State of Wonder” on Oregon Public Broadcasting  \n“I felt invited to join Emilly Prado on","cbCaicYM3GnVGLYI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicYM3GnVGLYI","pdf",2222225,1,146,"English","en",105,"# Praise and reception\n## Themes of trauma, healing, and coming of age\n## Storytelling as self-reconstruction\n# Publication notes\n## Creative nonfiction and privacy changes\n## Rights and edition details","[{\"question\":\"What kind of work is Funeral for Flaca?\",\"answer\":\"It is a collection of creative nonfiction essays by Emilly G.
