Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Road to Tamazunchale is one of the first achieved works of Chicano consciousness and spirit." -- Library Journal

This skillful and imaginative Chicano novel (nominated for the National Book Award) tells the story of Don Fausto, a very old man on the verge of death who lives in the barrio of Los Angeles. Rather than resigning himself, he embarks on a glorious journey in and out of time, space and consciousness. The Road to Tamazunchale includes a scholarly introduction by Eliud Martinez, and a bibliography of works by and about Ron Arias. --Midwest Book Review
