Selected Bibliography

Gibbons, Reginald

NEW WRITING FROM MEXICO

(TriQuarterly Books, 420 pages, $15 paperback)

EDITOR: Reginald Gibbons.

NOTES: Beginning in the 1960s, there has been a remarkable flowering of new writing in Mexico, and new generations of writers have come of age. These writers, born around 1945 and after, have lived through the most dramatic political, social and artistic changes in Mexico's history. They have opened up fiction to new subjects, new places, new techniques. Their poetry evokes and meditates on the Mexican reality more fully and more vividly than ever before. In this new moment we hear more strongly the voices of women and the voices speaking from the provinces about their rich sense of place. This anthology is not a documentary representation or a survey, but a carefully chosen and scrupulously translated sampling of the most vigorous and exicint new short fiction, poetry and essays being written in Mexico today.

Filled with stories, traditions, and recipes, the book is a big success. Best of all, the kids learn something - about themselves and about each other.

Simmen, Edward, Editor

NORTH OF THE RIO GRANDE: THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN EXPERIENCE IN SHORT FICTION

(Mentor, 431 pages, $5.95 paperback, ISBN: 0-451-62834-9) EDITOR: Edward Simmen works at la universidad de las Americas, Cholula, Puebla, Mexico.

NOTES: Mexico and the United States long have been in close yet uneasy proximity. The gulf between the two cultures has both separated one from the other and challenged writers for over a century to bridge it with fiction that captures the Mexican-American experience in all its many aspects. This superlative anthology of short stories brings together writers both Anglo and Chicano who have taken up this challenge. The stories range from Stephen Crane's early and then controversial tale of Anglo aggression in the 19th-century Southwest, A Man and Some Others, to Sandra Cisneros' powerfully compact tale of a modern-day tragedy, Geraldo No Last Name. CONTENTS: A Man and Some Others by Stephen Crane; The Dance at Chevalier's by Willa Cather; John of God The Water Carrier, The Gold Vanity Set and The Education of Popo by MarIa Cristina Mena; Fiesta in St. Paul by Grace Hodgson Flandrau; El Hoyo, SeNor Garza, Cuco Goes To A Party, Loco-Chu, and Kid Zopilote by Mario Suarez; Almost A Song by Willard Johnson; El Zopilote by Alice Marriot; Over the Waves is Out by Americo Paredes; Saturday Belongs to the Palomia by Daniel Garza; MarIa Tepache and Cecilia Rosas by Amado Muro (Chester Seltzer); Ramon el Conejo by Natalie Petesch; The Judge by Mary Gray Hughes; The Somebody by Danny Santiago; The Circuit by Francisco Jimenez

In the Pit with Bruno Cano by Rolando Hinojosa; The Wetback by Ron Arias; Geraldo No Last Name by Sandra Cisneros; Ricardo's War by Hugo Martinez-Serros; The Pilgram and VIllage by Estea Portillo; The Apparition by Lionel G. Garcia; Vic Damone's Music and Hollywood! by Dagoberto Gilb; Rain Dancer by Arturo Islas; The Aztecs Are Coming by Rogelio Gomez; Overlappings by Carolyn Osborn; Too Much His Father's Son by Genaro Gonzalez; Smeltertown by Carlos Nicholas Flores; The McCoy Hotel by Denise Chavez.

This list is certainly not all inclusive. I hope these recommended story collections for Southwest Women's Literature help.

Sincerely,

Ruben Sosa Villegas
