His work, often experimental, was one of the first to depict harsh urban realities in the barrios-a break from much of the Chicana and Chicano fiction that had been published previously. Morales' relentless work has grown over the decades into a veritable menagerie of cultural testimonies, fantastic counter-histories, magical realism, challenging meta-narratives, and flesh-and-blood aesthetic innovation. The fourteen essays included in this compendium examine Morales' novels and short stories. The editors also include a critical introduction; an interview between Morales, the editors, and fellow author Daniel Olivas; and a new comprehensive bibliography of Morales' writings and works about him-books, articles, book reviews, online resources, and dissertations. A Critical Collection on Alejandro Morales: Forging an Alternative Chicano Fiction is a must-read for understanding and appreciating Morales' work in particular and Chicana and Chicano literature in general"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Morales, Alejandro, $d 1944- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Morales, Alejandro, $d 1944- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00090103 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Essays. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919922 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Garcia-Martinez, Marc, $e editor. 700 1 $a Lomeli, Francisco A., $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Critical collection on Alejandro Morales $d Albuquerque : University of New Mexico Press, [2021] $z 9780826363107 $w (DLC) 2021032885 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024454.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C240406DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
