About this ebook
A collection of stories about Mexican-Americans grappling with their roots as their ambitions take them far from home, culturally and geographically. Stories first appeared in: Yale Review, Michigan Quarterly Review, New Guard Literary Review, Review: Literature and Arts of the Americas, Origins Journal, The Packinghouse Review, Hit List: The Best of Latino Mystery. (Respectively: "Eternal Return," "Library Island," "Fragments of a Dream," "Yamecah," "Turnaround in the Dark," "New Englander," "Face to Face". The stories are great examples of minority characters dealing with both specific and universal issues—Troncoso writes about aging and introspection, love and marriage, along with issues like feeling out of place because of race, machismo, and interracial relationships. Sergio Troncoso has won numerous literary awards, and has taught at the Yale Writers' Workshop for many years. He will be reaching out to friends, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Eileen Pollack, for blurbs.
