Facundo Bernal's A Stab in the Dark (Palos de ciego) is a poetic
chronicle of the struggles and joys of the Spanish-speaking
community in Los Angeles and in the burgeoning border town of
Mexicali during the early 1920s. Sharply satirical yet deeply
empathetic, Bernal's poems are both a landmark of Chicano
literature and a captivating read. Anthony Seidman's energetic
translation - the first into English - preserves the prickly feel
of Bernal's classic, down to the last stab. This edition also
features the original Spanish text, an introduction by the
prominent Mexicali writer Gabriel Trujillo Munoz, an additional
introduction by critic Josh Kun, and a foreword by writer and
lawyer Yxta Maya Murray.
