" Cómo Salir con un Mexicano Volador es una obra bellamente realizada que surge de las profundidades de las experiencias culturales de los mexicanos y de los mexicanos americanos." --Michael Nava, Los Angeles Review of Books "Provocado por la tragedia--la muerte de su padre y la pandemia--Olivas repasa décadas de escritura para producir esta colección de relatos nuevos y previamente publicados. La obra de Olivas es surrealista, distópica, crítica, e introspectiva, para finalmente pasar a una retórica política contemporánea." -- Alta Journal, " How to Date a Flying Mexican is a beautifully realized work that comes out of the depths of the Mexican and Mexican American cultural experience." --Michael Nava, Los Angeles Review of Books "Olivas intertwines Chicana/o and Mexican culture and history such as gods, curanderismo, education, immigration, and many other important factors into each story. The flawless incorporation of these two identities mixed with the peculiar characters in magical plots makes for memorable and quirky tales.... It was an honor to step into his strange, little world."--Melissa Gonzalez, Latinx in Publishing "A skilled, creative, entertaining and thought-provoking writer who has impressively mastered the short story format, Daniel A. Olivas'' new anthology, How to Date a Flying Mexican: New and Collected Stories , will prove to be a welcome addition to community, college, and university library Hispanic-American Literature collections." -- Midwest Book Review "Daniel Olivas'' stories are going to stick with us for quite awhile. Empathetic, touching, intelligent, fierce, and poetic." -- Writer''s Bone "Prompted by tragedy--the death of his father and the pandemic--Olivas revisits decades of writing to produce this collection of new and previously published stories. Olivas''s work is surreal, dystopian, critical, and introspective, ultimately moving into contemporary political rhetoric." -- Alta Journal "Throughout all of his stories, there are strong Chicano characters, who embody tales that range from the laugh-out-loud funny to the heartbreaking. A timely retrospective from an important voice in Latinx literature." --Wendy J. Fox, BuzzFeed "His new collection of short fiction . . . is at turns comic and tragic, and perhaps most poignant when it is both. Employing a range of genres and modes including dystopian science fiction, magical realism, and parable, Olivas uses a whimsical hand to tug at deeper truths about identity and society." --David Nilsen, On the Seawall "Daniel Olivas loves to tell stories and his writing reflects that joy. Every story is told with a wink and a smile, encouraging you to follow along for the ride. His humor not only brings levity to matters of life, death, and human treachery, but it is also a stylistic choice that Olivas has mastered. These stories aren''t so much about the interiority of its characters, but about the mythical, magical mundanity of our lives--Olivas''s style perfectly expresses this contradiction." -- Maceo Montoya , associate professor of Chicano/a Studies, University of California, Davis, and author of Preparatory Notes for Future Masterpieces "Olivas has the voice of both an ancient and modern storyteller. He is very deft and sure with language. The stories make a significant contribute to the Latinx community and beyond." -- David Kranes , professor emeritus of English, University of Utah, and author of Keno Runner, Abracadabra, and Performance Art: Stories "From gritty realism to mythic and sci-fi speculative, Olivas dishes up an exquisite feast of short fictions filled to the brim with small and outsized everyday struggles--and failures. Through it all, we feel the mischievous wink and wry smile twinkle of an author whose . . . skills clear new space for us to breathe again in the richness of Latinx ways of life." -- Frederick Luis Aldama , award winning author and Jacob & Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities at University of Texas, Austin "This kinetic new collection of stories is exuberant and poignant, filled with the homegrown details of Latinx life as well as a kind of cheerful, saucy magic." -- Yxta Maya Murray , law professor, Loyola Law School and author of The World Doesn''t Work that Way, but It Could: Stories, " How to Date a Flying Mexican is a beautifully realized work that comes out of the depths of the Mexican and Mexican American cultural experience." --Michael Nava, Los Angeles Review of Books "Olivas intertwines Chicana/o and Mexican culture and history such as gods, curanderismo, education, immigration, and many other important factors into each story. The flawless incorporation of these two identities mixed with the peculiar characters in magical plots makes for memorable and quirky tales.... It was an honor to step into his strange, little world." --Melissa Gonzalez, Latinx in Publishing "Prepare to be enchanted--there''s magic within." -- Stanford Magazine "A skilled, creative, entertaining and thought-provoking writer who has impressively mastered the short story format, Daniel A.
