About the Author

From the Inside Flap

"The stories are universal in the sense that they are about fools and heroes, about borders between cultures, between languages, between generations. But they are also unique documents of the languages spoken in one place at one time." The Texas Observer

"Hinojosa s literary style precise, clean not a word of excess; his ironic and subtle humor, so well within the Hispanic tradition; his undeniably popular and regional themes, and, thus universal appeal; and a persistent understatement, all blend to make his work unmistakable " Latin American Literary Review

"Although his sharp eye and accurate ear capture a place, its people and a time in a masterly way, his work goes far beyond regionalism. He is a writer for all readers, and Dear Rafe, . . . is a delight in any league." The New York Times Book Review
