Description: Ray Gonzalez's sweeping Cabato Sentora takes the reader to the heart of the Chicano/American Southwest experience. Evoking magical realism in the tradition of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Gonzalez writes of the successes and losses of the materially-poor, spiritually-rich Chicano townspeople and Mexico's native Yaqui tribe. The result is a new mythology, one that honors gourds, beans, guitars, fingernails, adobes, arroyos and mesas, even the head of Pancho Villa.
