Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments Mrs. Vargas and the Dead Naturalist, Kathleen Alcalá, 1992, United States, SHORT STORIES

"...Set mainly on the United States-Mexican border, these stories take the reader into the land of dreams, death, and hope...In "Reading the Road," we meet Lucy, who "read tire tracks the way others read cards or tea leaves...Lucy knew that the blood of California flowed through its roads and highways, and the highway leading west went past her front door..."

(H.S., p. 186)
