Hector Villa, a direct descendant of Pancho Villa, and his family
have lived in the town of Belen, New Mexico, on the Rio Grande
since they were guided across the inter- national border 20 years
ago by coyotes. He has his own business as a computer repairman and
con- siders himself a patriotic American and a proud supporter of
President George W. Bush. Hector believes in American values and
the Republi- can Party, and he can't understand why everyone
doesn't, including his best friend, Jesus "Eddie" Juarez. He still
thinks of America as the Promised Land, but things begin to go
wrong in his life, especially after he is drafted to run as the GOP
can- didate for the U.S. House of Repre- sentatives from his
district, begin- ning a series of misadventures that perplex and
trouble him and his wife, AveMaria. The result is a kind of crisis
of faith from which Hector emerges as a sadder but wiser man. The
Education of Hector Villa is a novel on a highly contemporary
subject, a work that combines satire and comedy with deep sympathy
and pathos.
