Book Description

March 4, 2003

Ya sea en la comiquÍsima y filosofaclora voz de un chÓfer de limusina cuyo sueÑo es mejorar su grupo amateur de "rap-metal" en "Mi Carro, Mi RevoluciÓ", o en la diatriba en forma de monÓlogo de Ysela, una evangelista de carpa que da tes-ti-mo-nio en "Oiga", RodrÍguez halla humor en las vidas de personajes que no estÁn dispuestos a sacrificar sus sueÑos debido a las circunstancias que los rodean.

RodrÍguez le da una voz elocuente al barrio donde pasÓ muchos aÑos de su vida como padre, organizador y finalmente escritor: un vecindario que le ofrece al mundo mÁs de lo que su apariencia sugiere.
