Salsa and Chips 4 reviews Daniel Reveles
One World/Ballantine, 1997
Salsa & Chips is great
+ I love all of this man's books + Hungry for more...
This is one of the best kept secrets of eloquent writing. I've finished this book in one breath. Since I live in San Diego and have been in Tecate, I can relate to a lot of the descriptions.

Tom Mix and Pancho Villa 2 reviews Clifford Irving
St Martins Pr, 1982
An American Classic
+ Undiscovered gem - A classic epic western of Mexican Revolution
This is probably the finest relatively-unknown novel ever published in the USA. The reviews back in 1982 were stunning. (William Safire in the New York Times wrote: "Rip-snortin', rootin'-tootin' adventure"; the L.A.Herald-Examiner said, "A big, rawboned, wild-blooded adventure, a novel to make any ...

-Businessmen: you usually deal with rich people when you come here and the upper-class in here has not evoluted very much since the mid 80's. It seems they have changed quite a ...

Imaginary Lines: Stories of Physical, Cultural, and Culinary Frontiers 2 reviews Linton Robinson, Ana Maria Corona
Bauu Institute, 2008
A Beautiful collaboration
+ A very wonderful collection
Reading "gringo lit" about Mexico and Mexican's writing about "El Norte" is my main passion and IMAGINARY LINES is both of those...and much more.
It's a remarkable coming together of cultural viewpoints from opposite sites of the border, one of the lines of the mind it so aptly sketches. I read ...
