Gilb has created more than a literary anthology--this is a mosaic of the cultural and historical stories of Texas Mexican writers, musicians, and artists.
Dagoberto Gilb spent sixteen years working as a construction worker, twelve as a high-rise carpenter with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. He is the author of The Magic of Blood (UNM Press), which won the 1994 PEN/Hemingway Award and was a PEN/Faulkner finalist. Born in Los Angeles, he made his home for many years in El Paso and now lives in Austin, Texas.
"There is an absence in these pages of the pretentious experimentation for its own sake that controls much of American poetry and fiction today. These artists had no time or inclination for posture. They were, and are, struggling, striving and under siege...." - Dallas Morning News "Far from being a heavily documented work, the type rarely consulted by the general reader, Hecho en Tejas has been conceived and produced as a book for everyone...." - San Antonio Express-News"
