Book has a very personalized inscription from the author on the half-title page. Dust Jacket has wear on the edges that is difficult to see in the scans. Legend says that an Anglo stationmaster painted Albuquerque on the railroad sign in the 1880s. Ostensibly, he couldn't trill that first 'r'. In this long-awaited novel, Rudolfo Anaya reveals much more than the correct spelling of Alburquerque he bares the soul of a city. The story focuses on Abrán González, ex-Golden Glove champ and homeboy from Barelas who meets up with writer Ben Chávez. From this fateful encounter unfolds not only a poignant tale about a young man's search for his father in the mean streets of Alburquerque 1992, but a story of a Southwestern city coming to grips with the complexities and imperatives of explosive urban development. Anaya draws on his trademark magic realism but adds a touch of madcap adventure and political satire in this journey to the heart of Aztlán, where ruthless attorney Frank Dominic dreams of turning the city's downtown into a desert Venice by rechanneling the waters of the Rio Grande. Where the mayor risks her career for love. And where a cast of hundreds, from the northern villages and the Santo Domingo Pueblo to the Duke City, help readers understand the deep roots and traditions of New Mexico's people.

"Chicano novelist Anaya's explosive study of political patronage and the search for ethnic roots takes its title from a New Mexican legend. In 1880, an Anglo stationmaster reportedly took the first R out of Albuquerque's name, a move that symbolized the emasculation of the Mexican way of life. Set in the present, this absorbing novel focuses on a young boxer, fair-skinned Abran Gonzales, who is shattered by the revelation that his parents adopted him. He meets his real Anglo mother, dying of cancer, on her deathbed, then sets out on a quest for his Mexican father--who, the reader quickly learns, is Abran's acquaintance, the writer/professor Ben Chavez. Unscrupulous, rich lawyer Frank Dominic becomes Abran's manager, promising that he will hire a detective to locate Abran's father and reveal his identity to the slugger during the big comeback fight of his career. Dominic, a con artist who wants to turn Albuquerque into a Venice-like tourist trap, complete with casino-lined canals, is running for mayor against Marisa Martinez, an independent maverick. Dominic acquires nude photos of Martinez in compromising positions, which threatens to derail Abran's true romance and the city's future. Anaya ( Tortuga ) spins a touching love story woven into a tale of treachery, a microcosm of the social and economic dislocations squeezing the American Southwest." -- Publishers Weekly. Book. …
