Description: "Anaya's first book, Bless Me, Ultima, was a ground-breaking novel of the life and folklore of Chicanos in southeastern New Mexico. Tortuga, his third novel, far supercedes all ethnic and geographical boundaries. His children are all mankind. . . . it opens our eyes to the depths and heights of feeling within us . . . the accomplishment of a major novel."--Frank Waters.
