Fiction. THE ROAD TO TAMAZUNCHALE is one of the first achieved works of Chicano consciousness and spirit--Library Journal. Nominated for the National Book Award, this classic, first published in 1987, tells the story of Don Fausto, a very old man on the verge of death who lives in the barrio of Los Angeles. Rather than resigning himself to death, he embarks on a glorious journey in and out of time, space and consciousness with a cast of companions that includes his teenaged niece, a Peruvian shepherd, a group of mojados, and others. Arias is a prolific writer who has written for the New York Times and the Christian Science Monitor. He is currently a senior writer for People magazine.
Um, bonkers. I'm reading it for my magical realism class, and I'm not absolutely sure it fits in with the legacy of Garcia Marquez, but it certainly deserves attention as a magical realist text. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
