Patricia Coral's "Women Surround By Water: A Memoir" has been long-listed for the 2024 National Book Critics Circle award in autography. This is the second year in a row that an author from The Ohio State University Press has been recognized for this award.

In her autobiography, Coral evokes the beauty, love, and language of her family and of Puerto Rico as well as the pain of yearning for more. Tastes, colors, and the dreamlike lushness of childhood memories infuse this mournful and propulsive memoir of personal and natural disasters—and the self-discovery made possible only when we choose what to leave behind.
