Love and friendship, art and craft, language and culture are the
subjects of this look back at one woman's experiences in Mexico
over a period of twenty years. What first propels Linda Grant
Niemann south are the migrants she encounters in her job as a
railroad brakeman in the Southwest. She decides to learn Spanish,
and in Mexico she soon meets some surprising kindred spirits. An
admirer of craft and expertise, Niemann seeks out individual
artists who make exquisite things-Otomi papermakers, the families
who produce the famous ceramics of Mata Ortiz, the man in Michoacan
who knows how to fashion full-size jaguar thrones in bent cane.
Some of her searches lead her to tiny villages and to artists who
seldom get to meet their own fans. Niemann wonders if she is
experiencing an ordinary shopaholic's obsession or if this is
something more. The something more reveals itself as the connection
of one artist to another.
