The Storyteller With Nike Airs
From the mesh of fantasy and certainty, both necessary to a good cuento, comes the Storyteller. Vampires and bars; barrios and teflon deserts; devils and dying; a spurned lover lying down with scorpions--the Storyteller threads her way through the unlikely, the impossible, coming to rest on the solid ground of her people. "[Forté-Escamilla's] people...are written with such complexity and fullness of dimension that they become unforgettable."--Tillie Olsen
