Alejandro Morales is a pioneer of Chicana and Chicano literature
and the author of groundbreaking works including The Brick People,
The Rag Doll Plagues, and River of Angels. 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.
