In Search of Epifano
Rudolfo Anaya
1987
Introduction
In Search of Epifano,
by American writer Rudolfo Anaya, is about an old woman who drives from Southern California into the Mexican desert to find out what is left of the large ranch her great-grandfather Epifano built in the state of Chihuahua. Her life has been an unfulfilled one, and she journeys in search of her familial, ethnic, and spiritual roots in the Mexican desert. In Search of Epifano
is an excellent example of Anaya's frequent subject matter, the rediscovery by Mexican Americans of their ethnic Mexican heritage, and demonstrates his use of mythical and symbolic elements to convey his themes.
Anaya's story was first published in Voces: An Anthology of Nuevo Mexicano Writers in 1987. It was reprinted in Iguana Dreams: New Latino Fiction (1992), The Anaya Reader (1995), and Anaya's collection of short stories The Man Who Could Fly and Other Stories (2006).
Author Biography
Novelist, short-story writer, poet, and essayist Rudolfo Alfonso Anaya was born to Martin and Rafaelita (Mares) Anaya on October 30, 1937, in Pastura, a village in eastern New Mexico. The family moved to Santa Rosa, New Mexico, soon after Anaya's birth. Anaya was the youngest of four brothers, and he had six sisters (three siblings were from his parents' previous marriages). The family spoke Spanish, and Anaya spoke Spanish exclusively as a child until the age of six. The family moved again in 1952 to Albuquerque, where the fifteen-year-old Anaya attended a public school, graduating in 1956. After graduation, he attended Browning Business School for two years and then enrolled in the University of New Mexico, from which he received a bachelor of arts degree in 1963. For five years, until 1968, he taught English in Albuquerque's public schools. He married Patricia Lawless in 1966 and received a master's degree in English from the University of New Mexico in 1968. He also acquired a master's degree in guidance and counseling from the same university in 1972, after which he was appointed director of counseling at the university.
