Trece Sentidos, de Victor Villaseñor, continúa la estimulante epopeya familiar que empezó con el ampliamente reconocido bestseller Lluvia de Oro-en un deslumbrante relato de pasión, familia y los olvidados sentidos místicos que revolotean en el interior de cada uno de nosotros -- con una atrevida memoria de amor, magia, milagros y crimen.

Trece Sentidos abre con las bodas de orb del ya mayor y antiguo fabricante de whiskey clandestino Salvador y su elegante esposa, Lupe. Cuando un joven sacerdote le pide a Lupe que repita la sagrada frase ceremonial 'respetar y obedecer', Lupe se sorprende a sí misma al contestar -- ¡No, no voy a decir obedecer! ¡Cómo se atreve! ¡Ah, no! ¡Usted no me va a hablar así después de cincuenta años de matrimonio y sabiendo lo que sé! --. Después de la comiquísima sacudida del rechazo de Lupe, la familia Villaseñor se ve forzada a examinar el amor que Lupe y Salvador han compartido por tantos años: un amor universal, entrañable y sincero, que eventualmente dará energía e inspiración a la pareja en su vejez.

En Trece Sentidos, Victor Villaseñor introduce a sus lectores al mundo pintoresco de su familia inmigrante, el cual evoca al de Bonnie y Clyde: un mundo que se desarrolla durante la época de la Depresión en el sur de California. Un mundo cruel donde sólo sobreviven los fuertes y los mañosos, y donde el amor, la pasión y el compromiso a la familia son las únicas fuerzas que alientan las vidas de Salvador y Lupe. A través de la narración vemos a Lupe librarse de sus jóvenes e inocentes convenciones de la feminidad y convertirse en un acorazado de poder, fuerza, valor, e inteligencia. A su vez, Salvador se ve obligado a ampliar su imagen de patriarca macho, y a convertirse en un ser más pleno al aprender aescuchar la sabia intuición de su joven esposa.

Al final de cuentas, Trece Sentidos es una representación delirante del amor entre todo hombre y toda mujer. Al escribir esta memoria parteaguas del atrevido deseo de Lupe y Salvador. Villaseñor descubre una senda hacia la iluminación y nos ayuda a darnos cuenta que un alma que ha despertado no se restringe por el uso de los cinco sentidos, sino que es capaz de usar la fuerza de todos los trece sagrados sentidos.

About the Author:

Victor Villaseñor vive en California en el rancho donde fue criado. Es autor de numerosos obras editoriales y aclamadas obras, entre ellas Lluvia de oro, Jurado: La Gente vs. Juan Corona, y ¡Macho!.

Victor Villaseñor's bestselling, critically acclaimed works, as well as his inspiring lectures, have brought him the honor of many awards. Most recently he was selected as the founding chair of the John Steinbeck Foundation. He lives in Oceanside, California.

From Library Journal:
This is a fascinating, if problematic, account of the early married life of the author's parents, a young Mexican American couple living in California and coping with the economic and social effects of the Great Depression. Continuing the family saga he began in Rain of Gold, Villase?or tells of his father, Salvador, an extremely moral man who, paradoxically, bootlegs liquor to earn a living. His young bride, Lupe, who is beautiful and intelligent but also conventional and na?ve, is kept ignorant of Salvador's livelihood until she is pregnant with their first child a dilemma the reader will be anxious to see resolved. However, the book delves too much and too often into private prayers and their alleged responses from God, the Virgin Mary, and a host of intervening angels. The theory of 13 senses is intriguing, but one grandmother's know-it-all spirituality becomes tiresome after its fifth or sixth intrusion into the narrative. Villase?or is at his best when portraying the realm of social reality, including the effects of the Mexican Revolution. While libraries will not need yet another spiritual instruction manual, this book merits space on the shelves of most public libraries for the author's skill in depicting his parents' circumstances and social evolution.
