More about the book
The time-line is cyclical and eternal, as a doctor and his descendants are condemned to enter into an ever-consuming battle with a mysterious plague in three separate moments in history: colonial Mexico, contemporary California, and the next century in a newly emerged country. Power relationships and the social fabric of three settings are intricately detailed by Morales in his fashioning of a history which at the same time is seen through lenses of the magic and supernatural. The magical realists of Latin America have their Chicano inheritor and his name is Alejandro Morales.
