Über den Autor
Benjamin Alire Saenz was born in 1954 in his grandmother's house in Old Picacho, a small farming village in the outskirts of Las Cruces, New Mexico. He was the fourth of seven children and was raised on a small farm near Mesilla Park. Later, when the family lost the farm, his father went back to mehr anzeigen his former occupation -- being a cement finisher. His mother worked as a cleaning woman and a factory worker. During his youth, he worked at various jobs -- painting apartments, roofing houses, picking onions, and cleaning for a janitorial service. He graduated from high school in 1972 and went on to college. He studied philosophy and theology in Europe for four years and spent a summer in Tanzania. He eventually became a writer and professor and moved back to the border -- the only place where he feels he truly belongs. weniger anzeigen

Die Geschichte vermittelt irgendwie eine angenehme Stimmung und stellt dar wie unterschiedlich jeder für sich die Welt empfinden kann, und wie trotz der unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen eine wunderbare Freundschaft entsteht.
