Product Description:
Lionel García's second novel demythologizes the Texas past while creatng an accurate, although satirized, portrayal of Mexican-American life in the modern metropolis. García is the master of humor, the incongruous tale and dialogue. García is a winner of the PEN Southwest Award.

Rated by buyers -
Lionel Garcia's A SHROUD IN THE FAMILY is a strange and very funny book. Throughout the book, characters are crossing boundaries-- from myth into reality, the past into the present, the Hispanic Texas into the Anglo Texas-- and Garcia keeps it all barrelling forward until the comic, catastrophic ending. A great book by a great, if somewhat neglected, author.
