Taylor, Lawrence J.

Tales from the Desert Borderland[electronic resource] /by Lawrence J. Taylor. - 1st ed. 2020. - XXVII, 167 p. 9 illus., 1 illus. in color.online resource. - Palgrave Studies in Literary Anthropology. - Palgrave Studies in Literary Anthropology.

Chapter 1: Machaca -- Chapter 2: Hot Springs -- Chapter 3: Love and Lettuce -- Chapter 4: NAFTA -- Chapter 5: Endangered Species -- Chapter 6: Burying Sheila Cassidy -- Chapter 7: Ranch Rescue -- Chapter 8: The Tunnel.

Taylor brings an ethnographer’s eye, ear, and many years of experience to this fictional portrait of life along the US/Mexico desert border. In these linked short stories, readers are taken on a wild ride from San Diego to Nogales, into Mexican and Chicano neighborhoods, failed spas and defunct mining towns, rambling Native American reservations and besieged Wildlife Refuges. Along the way they will share the conflicts, calamities, and occasional triumph of an engaging cast of characters. While these tales treat such familiar border themes as drug- and people-smuggling or hybrid and conflicting cultures and identities, they do so with a literary flair that revels in the rich diversity of border life as well as in its ambiguity, ambivalence, irony and often unexpected humor.
