Neuware - The sensual and enchanting coming-of-age classic from the godfather of Chicano literature follows a young boy growing up in the llano (plains) of post-World War II New Mexico, and the generous curandera who introduces him to the sacred side of life.'The best-known and most-respected contemporary Chicano fiction.' -The New York Times'I pulled this baby into the light of life . Only I will know his destiny.'Antonio Marez is six years old when the woman who helped usher him into the world comes to stay with his family in New Mexico.
