Chicanonautica: And Now . . . El Porviner, ¡Ya!

 by Ernest Hogan

At last, El Porviner, ¡Ya! Citlalzazanilli Mexicatl Chicano Science FictionAnthology is available to order, from Amazon, the independent raza publisher, or ask for it at your favorite bookstore.

The preface and new story by me are just the tip of the iceberg. Look at the line up: Mario Acevedo, Frank Lechuga, Martin Hill Ortiz, Pedro Iniguez, Nicholas Belardes, Armando Rendón, Lizz Huerta, Emmanuel Valtierra, Rios de La Luz, Beatrice Pita, Rosaura Sánchez, R. Ch. Garcia, Ricardo Tavarez, Rosa Martha Villarreal, Carmen Baca, Scott Russell Duncan, Gloria Delgado, and Kathleen Alcalá.

If that wasn’t enough to convince you that you need this book, here’s the first paragraph of my story, “Incident in the Global Barrio:”

Burt rushed to the corner where the employee in the bullfighter’s jacket told him the bathrooms were and skidded to a halt. Like the rest of the place, it glowed with bright colors and images of villages, beaches, jungles, deserts, Villa, Zapata, and the Virgin of Guadalupe that were alien to him, especially when it was snowing outside. He may as well have been an astronaut setting foot on another planet. He looked around and scratched his cap that was faded and worn from red to a dull pink with the name of an obnoxious president who had crashed and burned after one disastrous term.

Time to get Chicanofuturistic, amigxes!

Ernest Hogan is the Father of Chicano Science Fiction [mariachi mad scientist laugh here].
