Publisher Description: Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Set in the '60s, Genaro GonzAA lez's most recent novel plays on Kerouac as much as Cervantes in spinning the tale of De la O, a Chicano college student and would-be radical. With his gang of friends, De la O embarks on a series of wild road trips in search of political, spiritual, and chemical fulfillment. The Nation has written of the author, The creatures of his imagination combust into their own living, full-color reality. THE QUIXOTE CULT is GonzAA lez's third book with Arte PAAblico; the first two, RAINBOW'S END and ONLY SONS, are also available from SPD. |
