Synopsis

Again, Soto brings us a blend of comedy and pathos in his newest novel. Silver Mendez, a veteran Chicano poet, finds himself in predicaments involving a Baptist college, the president's wife, and even selling drugs. All this comes to light as he tries to recover his memory lost in a mishap with a typewriter.
