Some good insights into Sante Fe, New Mexico's culture. "...in New York society transcends and the man is submerged within it. But Santa Fe celebrates the individual." (  ) ague | Oct 30, 2007 | Written when he was still a graduate student, before his writing career really took off. Quite dry compared to his later work - he really doesn't know how to tell a story, which is a shame considering he had interesting material.

| Descripción del libro |
|
Tony Hillerman, who knows the Southwest like no other contemporary writer; presents nine extraordinary, true tales that capture the history and rhythms of daily life in New Mexico. From the comical title story of the holdup that didn't happen, to the riveting account of scientist tracking the Black Death through the arroyos in "We All Fall Down," to the ironic account of how a Black cowboy's commonsense intelligence destroyed the dogma of the Smithsonian Institution in "Othello in Union County," master storytellerTony Hillerman reveals the present and the timeless past of one of America's most beautiful and haunting regions.
Tony Hillerman is professor emeritus of journalism at the University of New Mexico and an Edgar Award-winning mystery novelist. He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
"Hillerman is surely one of the finest and most original craftsman at work...today." --Boston Globe Book Review

The folks I met are mostly free spirits with their own way of doing things. This book presents the quirkiest of the bunch.
It's a humorous, irreverent look at the unique people who populate this part of New Mexico. (
