I no Longer Like Chocolates
ยซIn the literature of the Azorean archipelago, emigration, particularly to Americaโhas long held a place of prominence. Among the most comprehensive and significant works on this theme is โI No Longer Like Chocolatesโ 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 fictionโhave 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 islandsโ peopleโthose scattered across the nine islands of the mid-Atlantic, as well as the symbolic โtenth islandโ on the North American continent. In โI No Longer Like Chocolatesโ, 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 futureยป.
