5.0 out of 5 stars One of America's Great Short Story Writers
Dagoberto Gilb is a giant. I resist putting him on the Mexican American Writer's Shelf, though. (Whatever that means.) He's writing about working class people, which resonates for more than typical cliched stuff about border culture. Gilb remains one of the most important short story writers in America and his work will stand the test of time. He's one of a kind, a unique "style" (or "anti-style") and the book will surprise you, even on the sentence level. Gilb is a living master of the short story form.
5.0 out of 5 stars Realism returns to the page
It’s been a while since I’d read fiction by Gilb. I’m a huge fan of short stories, and this compilation is a rich addition to the canon. The settings, the people, the plots, and sad or funny surprises reveal a truth and realism not often found in Chicano literature. The author’s insightful views of our people’s experiences make this a read that won’t be forgotten.
5.0 out of 5 stars Better than 5 stars
I've admired Gilb's fiction since his Magic of Blood fame. This book and these stories represent his writing at its true best. The stories are as a big as novels. The book, as important as it is for the Chicano and Latinx market, transcends its community. A great American book. Really cool that it's at City Lights Books! Where else?
