Cristina García (journalist)
Cristina García (born July 4, 1958) is a Cuban-born American journalist and novelist. After working for ''Time Magazine'' as a researcher, reporter, and Miami bureau chief, she turned to writing fiction. Her first novel, ''Dreaming in Cuban'' (1992), received critical acclaim and was a finalist for the National Book Award. She has since published her novels ''The Agüero Sisters'' (1997) and ''Monkey Hunting'' (2003), and has edited books of Cuban and other Latin American literature. Her fourth novel, ''A Handbook to Luck'', was released in hardcover in 2007 and came out in paperback in April 2008.
In 2009, Garcia was hired as the Visiting Affiliate Professor and Black Mountain Institute Teaching Fellow in Creative Writing at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She has taught at other colleges including the University of Texas-Austin, Texas Tech University, and Texas State University-San Marcos, where she is the 2012-14 University Chair in Creative Writing.
==Early life==
García was born in Havana to a Guatemalan father and Cuban mother. In 1961, when she was two years old, her family was among the first wave of people to flee Cuba after Fidel Castro came to power. They settled in New York City, where she was raised in Queens, Brooklyn Heights, and Manhattan, in predominantly Irish, Italian, and Jewish neighborhoods. Her family, however, communicated at home in Spanish and shared many stories about Cuba during her youth.
In 1979 she completed a bachelor's degree in political science at Barnard College, where she says a course in English stirred her interest in literature. She earned a master's degree in international relations from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in 1981. During her graduate studies she spent a year in Italy and later returned to Europe to accept a marketing position with Procter & Gamble in West Germany, but left that job after three months.
