Loners, families, fathers, wives-anyone who lives on the border between Mexico and the United States also lives on a border of violence and complexity. Here a master of Chicano noir explores that world in lean and haunting stories that you will never forget.
Ito Romo teaches literature and creative writing at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas. He is the author of El Puente/The Bridge, also available from UNM Press.
The result of [Romo's] direct and unflinching language is a work of fiction that denies any predilections toward glossing over situations, but that is Romo's gift: he forces us not only to look but also to actually see these characters and admit that these lives mirror the lives of people we would like to ignore or forget.--Concho River Review
