Under the Enchantment there's gold and crawling scorpions.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Experiencing New Mexico: Lyrical and Critical Essays (Paperback)
Living in Albuquerque, I was drawn to see what Malone made of the southwest in the 1990's. It is a collection that might have been much longer, yet it says enough. The surface of New Mexico is driven by the tourist-markets, and what we sell here is Enchantment and fairy-tales. Malone has scratched beneath the surface of things here, and has found plenty of gold nuggets and lots of scorpions, but mostly he has usefully de-mystified this region for those who want to explore the southwest in a balanced way. Overall, the book is a rationalist's view, with lots of specific details, about a place in America that is routinely treated like a child's bedtime story.
