About this product

Product Information

This hard-hitting, beautiful short story collection from one of America's preeminent literary voices "reflect[s] both sides of his Mexican-American heritage while stretching the reader's understanding of human boundaries" ( Kirkus ). Examining the borders between one nation and another, between one person and another, Urrea reveals his mastery of the short form. This collection includes the Edgar-award winning "Amapola" and his now-classic "Bid Farewell to Her Many Horses," which had the honor of being chosen for NPR's "Selected Shorts" not once but twice. Suffused with wanderlust, compassion, and no small amount of rock and roll, The Water Museum is a collection that confirms Luis Alberto Urrea as an American master.

Reviews
"All 13 stories are realistic and unsparing, as unflinching and hard-hitting as they are beautiful. It's difficult to find comparisons to an author as original as Urrea, a kind of literary badass who still believes in love. The Water Museum is a brilliant, powerful collection, and Luis Alberto Urrea is a master storyteller with a rock and roll heart." -- NPR.org

  • Absolutely worth reading

    Wow. This guy can write. Dialogue, slang, real people, real situations. Race, barrios, borders, immigrants, food, antagonisms, feelings, love, hatred. These stories have it all, in lilting prose. And I shouldn't forget the scenery, the descriptions of towns, land, the background, the people. These stories make you sit up and take notice, and you don't want to stop. And the drama reaches out and grabs you and knocks you to the ground. And you want to gasp for breath after it's been knocked out of you. Damn.
