Trade ReviewAll post-
Ultima Chicano literature is rooted in Rudolfo Anaya's aesthetic. It is shocking - almost criminal - therefore, that there are not a plethora of scholarly Anaya books already in print. Roberto Cantú's
The Forked Juniper is an exhilarating and eclectic collection of essays that offers a much-needed contemporary overview and multifaceted analysis of Anaya's writings. This enthralling work will, no doubt, become a natural companion to the study of one of our greatest living authors.""Daniel A. Olivas, author of
