<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Vivid cameos, pungent slices of street life, and cutting insights into the barrio and the underbelly of Los Angeles's Eastside are just a few of the treasures in this remarkable collection: tender stories ringing with a truth fresh enough to challenge the imagination and satisfy the soul.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From the award-winning author of <em>Always Running</em> comes a brilliant collection of short stories about life in East Los Angeles. Whether hilariously capturing the voice of a philosophizing limo driver whose dream is to make the most of his rap-metal garage band in My Ride, My Revolution, or the monologue-styled rant of a tes-ti-fy-ing! tent revivalist named Ysela in Oiga, Rodriguez squeezes humor from the lives of people who are not ready to sacrifice their dreams due to circumstance.</p><p>In these stories, Luis J. Rodriguez gives eloquent voice to the neighborhood where he spent many years as a resident, a father, an organizer, and, finally, a writer: a neighborhood that offers more to the world than its appearance allows.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"a flashy take on the vital Spanglish-Speaking culture of East Los Angeles."--Body & Soul<br><br>"Rodriguez is skillful at rendering the aura of East L.A."--Kirkus Reviews<br>
