Rolando Hinojosa

Clásicos Chicanos/ Chicano Classics #7

With a keen eye, a spare hand, and an underpinning of humor, Rolando Hinojosa depicts life in the Chicano Rio Grande Valley during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s - the people and their quirks, customs, and dreams. Hinojosa writes in a style that has often been compared to that of Thornton Wilder and William Faulkner: characters speak for themselves and all places have a story to tell. This is a new Spanish-language edition of the original novel in the Klail City Death Trip Series.

Rolando Hinojosa, an English professor at the University of Texas at Austin, has been called by The New York Times a "writer for all readers." He writes both in Spanish and English and his work has been translated into French, German, Italian, and Japanese.
