The Road to Tamazunchale, which was nominated for the National Book Award, tells the story of Don Fausto, a very old man on the verge of death who lives in the barrio of Los Angeles. Rather than resigning himself, he embarks on a glorious journey in and out of time, space, and consciousness with a cast of companions that includes his teenaged niece, a barrio street dude, a Peruvian shepherd, a group of mojados, and others. This Chicano Classics edition includes an introduction by Eliud Martínez and a bibliography of works by and about the author by Ernestina Eger.
“The Road to Tamazunchale is one of the first achieved works of Chicano consciousness and spirit.” —Library Journal
“. . . a Chicano masterpiece.” Judy Salinas, Latin American Literary Review
