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. Reading this book makes me want to visit Tecate again and really look for some of the things described. The ...

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 ...

This is a terrific book. The history section is naturally outdated, but some people could still benefit from this book: -Businessmen: you usually deal with rich people when you come here and the upper-class in here has not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 Frontiers2 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 ...

Mexico Mike Nelson

Fulcrum Publishing, 2005

Don't just read it - Live it!

+ Very comprehensive

Mike's subtitle says it all. The book really is chock full of practical advice for living and working in Mexico. It's not a "Come on down, you'll just love it," tempter. He gets very specific about the subjects those considering relocating are and should be interested in. In addition to ...
