Summary: Must Read for any Interested in Chicano/a and Gay Studies
Comment: Dr. Aldama's critical and biographical introduction to the work and life of the late Arturo Islas (author of The Rain God, Migrant Souls, and La Mollie and the King of Tears) beautifully contours the nuances of all of this Chicano author's unpublished poetry, short stories, and scholarly essays. Culled from archives at Stanford University, the many works collected and edited offer a complex view of Arturo Islas who began to explore in fiction and poetry issues of sexual (gay) and racial (Chicano) identity in his early 20s (the late 1950s) while taking classes with Hortense Calisher, Wallace Stegner, and Yvor Winters at Stanford. For any scholar serious about Chicano/a literary studies--or any reader interested in Chicano/a letters generally--this is a must read.
