Clemente Chacón: A NovelThe author takes us on a painful but uncompromisingly authentic social and psychological journey. Physically we move from the most impoverished barrios of Ciudad Juarez to the power centers of the American business world; psychologically we trace the unsentimental education of an ingenuous and noble, albeit streetwise, enfant sauvage of the Mexican subproletariat. |
