Today's
El Paso Times features
Rigoberto Gonzalez's glowing review of
Tameme's first bilingual chapbook---
Agustin Cadena's short story "Carne verde, piel negra" translated by
Yours Truly as "An Avocado from Michoacan". "A gem of a story," writes Gonzalez, "reminiscent of Juan Rulfo and Mariano Azuela."
Click here for the full review.... and by the way, another wonderful short story by Cadena appears in my anthology,
Mexico: A Traveler's Literary Companion. Cadena blogs, too, at
El vino y la hiel. More anon.
