In this exhaustive and enlightening biography—nearly two decades in the making—Gerald Martin dexterously traces the life and times of one of the twentieth century’s greatest literary titans, Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel García Márquez. Martin chronicles the particulars of an extraordinary life, from his upbringing in backwater Colombia and early journalism career, to the publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude at age forty, and the wealth and fame that followed. Based on interviews with more than three hundred of Garcia Marquez’s closest friends, family members, fellow authors, and detractors—as well as the many hours Martin spent with ‘Gabo’ himself—the result is a revelation of both the writer and the man. It is as gripping as any of Gabriel García Márquez’s powerful journalism, as enthralling as any of his acclaimed and beloved fiction.

Roque's Corner is an everyman's story about the underside of Santa Fe, one of the wealthiest and most visited cities in the Southwest and the art capital of the region. While many know this side of Santa Fe, they do not know the other side which is the Hispano/Chicano story. This book tells this story through the eyes of a remarkable individual, Roque García. Raised in Santa Fe by poor working class parents like many other Hispanos, Roque's story parallels the rise of Santa Fe to prominence, but reveals the key importance of working class Chicanos to this rise. A pioneer in the Chicano Movement in Santa Fe (about which little has been published), García worked in the land grant movement with Reies López Tijerina and participated in the historic Poor People's Campaign in Washington D.C. in 1968. As a social worker, community leader, and owner of his own food cart on the Santa Fe plaza, Roque García has witnessed the story of Santa Fe in the 20th century and now into the new millennium, but from his underdog position and perspective. He literally has seen much of this from his downtown corner where he sells his famous carnitas. Everyone in Santa Fe knows Roque and Roque knows everyone. He is a popular historian of Santa Fe through his memories. Based heavily on oral history to capture's Roque's narrative, as well as key primary sources, this book is a popular biography of a remarkable Santa Fean and Chicano.

“A taut, fraught, look at tragedy, its aftermath, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. With suspense, dread, and always the possibility for redemption, we watch as Zambrano flips the cards of chance and fate.” — Justin Torres, author of We The Animals In Lotería, the spellbinding literary debut by Mario Alberto Zambrano, a young girl tells the story of her family’s tragic demise using a deck of cards of the eponymous Latin American game of chance. With her older sister Estrella in the ICU and her father in jail, eleven-year-old Luz Castillo has been taken into the custody of the state. Alone in her room, she retreats behind a wall of silence, writing in her journal and shuffling through a deck of lotería cards. Each of the cards’ colorful images—mermaids, bottles, spiders, death, and stars—sparks a random memory. Pieced together, these snapshots bring into focus the joy and pain of the young girl’s life, and the events that led to her present situation. But just as the story becomes clear, a breathtaking twist changes everything. By turns affecting and inspiring, Lotería is a powerful novel that reminds us of the importance of remembering, even when we are trying to forget. Beautiful images of lotería cards are featured throughout this intricate and haunting novel.
