PALGRAVE STUDIES IN LITERARY ANTHROPOLOGY TAL...

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.
