Book excerpt: In Magical Habits Monica Huerta draws on her experiences growing up in her family's Mexican restaurants and her life as a scholar of literature and culture to meditate on how relationships among self, place, race, and storytelling contend with both the afterlives of history and racial capitalism. Whether dwelling on mundane aspects of everyday life, such as the smell of old kitchen grease, or grappling with the thorny, unsatisfying question of authenticity, Huerta stages a dynamic conversation among genres, voices, and archives: personal and critical essays exist alongside a fairy tale; photographs and restaurant menus complement fictional monologues based on her family's history. Developing a new mode of criticism through storytelling, Huerta takes readers through Cook County courtrooms, the Cristero Rebellion (in which her great-grandfather was martyred by the Mexican government), Japanese baths in San Francisco—and a little bit about Chaucer too. Ultimately, Huerta sketches out habits of living while thinking that allow us to consider what it means to live with and try to peer beyond history even as we are caught up in the middle of it.

Book excerpt: "Magical Habits draws from Saidiya Hartman's suggestive mode of "ficto-criticism," and proceeds through an assemblage of elements including personal narrative, fictionalized monologues, archival photographs, menu bits, restaurant reviews, and fairy tales among others. Monica Huerta focuses on the irregular cultural history of Mexican restaurants in twentieth-century Chicago (including Salvador's, the chain owned and operated by her parents) and asks what kinds of freedoms there are to taste as we live with and alongside the capacious historicity and potent afterlives of settler-colonial racial capitalism. The autobiomythography explores the relationship between self, history, and story-telling habits as self- and world-making, ultimately proposing that multiple habits of thought, rather than one way of knowing, can guide us in the path toward liberation"--
