fiction by Ron Arias, translated by Ricardo Aguilar and Beth Pollack

This long-awaited Spanish translation of the classic Chicano novel The Road to Tamazunchale tells the story of Don Fausto, a very old man on the verge of death who lives in the barrio of Los Angeles. Rather than resigning himself, he embarks on a glorious journey in and out of time, space, and consciousness with a cast of companions that includes his teenaged niece, a barrio street dude, a Peruvian shepherd, a group of mojados, and others. This skillfully and imaginatively told novel, which was nominated for the National Book Award, has been masterfully translated by Ricardo Aguilar and Beth Pollack of New Mexico State University. The author, Ron Arias, a prolific writer of both journalism and creative literature, is currently a senior writer for People magazine. His next work, Moving Target: A Memoir of Pursuit, is forthcoming from Bilingual Press.
