Produktinformationen zu „Klail City Death Trip: The Valley / Estampas del Valle (ePub)“
Death calls on a regular basis in this first installment of Hinojosa's acclaimed Klail City Death Trip Series. Jehú Malacara was seven when his mother died and nine when his father passed. He has family, but it's Don Víctor Peláez who takes him in and makes him an integral part of the Peláez Tent Show. Whenla muertecomes for Don Víctor, Jehú is orphaned again. Others die in bar room brawls, in a clandestine amorous tryst at the local Holiday Inn and on the street.Hinojosa paints his canvas with a montage of life's events—births, weddings, friendships and love affairs—but his brushwork all too frequently highlights the discrimination experienced by Mexican Americans. They lose their land to Anglos, are paid with rotten fruit for their labor and are refused admission to certain cafes. But life goes on. Young men go to war and old men remember their wars, whether the Mexican Revolution, World War II or the Korean War.This classic novel was originally published in the early 1970s asEstampas del Valleand in the early 1980s asThe Valley. Frequently compared to William Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha and Gabriel García Márquez's Macondo, Rolando Hinojosa's Klail City Death Trip Series is required reading for anyone interested in life along the Texas-Mexico border in the twentieth century.
