Empowering and Practical Spirituality

Well organized. Concise.

Brava!At any rate, Guerrero's interwoven collection of stories in the fictional border town of Mesquite (cut down the middle by a fence that separates the US side from the Mexican side) draws us in with simple, precise poetry and characters that continue to haunt the imagination long after reading about them. They are indeed chasing "shadows" -- of love, prosperity, identity, justice. Some of them find what they want, however fleetingly. But though there are grim moments in these stories, the overwhelming compassion and affection that Guerrero has for these people shines through. She knows them -- their voices, their houses, their clothes, their motives. And by the time I finished reading this book, I felt like I knew them, too -- and was the better for it.
Not Slightly SlightLucrecia Guerrero is a wonderful writer; her prose is deceptively calm on the surface. Once you enter, you'll feel riptides if you pay attention. There is a periodic surge of genius in the Chicano/Latino literary world, and currently there are several very exciting talents emerging. Among them (Diana Garcia, Carl Marcum, Rich Yanez, Jose Skinner), Guerrero shines. She is clearly a formidable talent, one we will hear much from in the future. I'm already hungry for her novel.
Great Read
