520 _aAfter the Sudden Fiction and Flash Fiction anthologies, editors Shapard and Thomas teamed with Gonzalez to create this stunning compilation of short shorts (under 1,500 words) by venerated and emerging Latino writers. In Andrea Saenz's "Everyone's Abuelo Can't Have Ridden with Pancho Villa," the narrator's Grandma Jefa discredits the family legends while holding fast to her own: a prescient dream about the assassination of Bobby Kennedy. Luna Calderon writes about Dia de Los Muertos or, as the social studies teacher in her story calls it, "Day Ah Dallas Mare Toes." In "Imagining Bisbee," Alicita Rodriguez recounts the making of a ghost town: "Bisbee's inhabitants want to disappear. They use P.O. boxes and first names. They hide under straw mats and melt into the horizon." In "Miss Clairol," Helena MarIa Viramontes describes the transformative makeup ritual of a mother: "The only way Champ knows her mother's true hair color is by her roots, which, like death, inevitably rise to the truth." The spirited mix of writers also includes Junot DIaz, Sandra Cisneros, Gabriel GarcIa Marquez, and Jorge Luis Borges.
