There is a marvelous tapestry of interwoven myth and magic that guides Anaya's characters' sensibilities, and is equally important in defining their feel of place. Above all, in this novel is a deep caring for land and culture and for the spiritual well-being of people, environment, landscape.\"--John Nichols, author of The Milagro Beanfield War: A Novel\". . . Alburquerque portrays a quest for knowledge. . . . [It] is a novel about many cultures intersecting at an urban, power-, and politics-filled crossroads, represented by a powerful white businessman, whose mother just happens to be a Jew who has hidden her Jewishness, . . . and a boy from the barrio who fathers a child raised in the barrio but who eventually goes on to a triumphant assertion of his cross-cultural self.\"--World Literature Today\"Alburquerque fulfills two important functions: it restores the missing R to the name of the city, and it shows off Anaya's powers as a novelist.\"--Alan Cheuse, National Public Radio\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895294558496,"sku":"NEW0826340598","price":21.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61SUVQaQsuL.jpg?v=1782033088","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/alburquerque-a-novel-0826340598","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
