In terms of Gregg's comment, he may use the Amazon "Look Inside" function to read Ruben's introduction to the anniversary reissue of "Chicano." In any event, because of the remarkable writing in "Latinos in Lotusland" (including work by John Rechy), I am proud to have my name associated with its publication.Daniel A.

Prior to <I>Chicano </I>(1970), there was John Rechy's <I>City of Night </I>(1963), <I>Numbers</I> (1967), and <I>This Day's Death </I>(1969). <BR/><BR/>And don't forget Raymond Barrio's important novel, <I>The Plum Plum Pickers </I> (1969). <BR/><BR/>If Martínez was misquoted, I hope La Bloga will make a correction. However, if the quote is accurate, perhaps Ruben's publisher will do the right thing and correct his introduction in future editions.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14877778182011776588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-54623662712883336232008-04-21T09:58:00.000-06:002008-04-21T09:58:00.000-06:00congratulations, daniel and especially all the wri...congratulations, daniel and especially all the writers showing for the first time! i look forward to tomando the tome off the shelves of IMIX, and look to seeing the collection fly off the shelves of every bookstore in the western world. and if the eastern world ever stops explodin', off their shelves, too. launch that frigate to the realms of gold!<BR/><BR/>mvsmsedanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527530005391318421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-17403602701056680522008-04-21T06:48:00.000-06:002008-04-21T06:48:00.000-06:00Congratulations, Daniel!
