Two centuries of writers drawn to Mexico--from D. H. Lawrence, John
Steinbeck, Jack Kerouac, and Tennessee Williams to Salman Rushdie,
Anita Desai, and Sandra Cisneros
This scintillating literary travel guide gathers the work of great
writers celebrating Mexico in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.
Ranging from 1843 to the present, Mexico in Mind" "offers a
remarkably varied sampling of English-speaking writers' impressions
of the land south of the border.
John Reed rides with Pancho Villa in 1914; Graham Greene defends
Mexico's priests; Langston Hughes describes a bullfight; Jack
Kerouac and William Burroughs find Mexico intoxicating; Alice Adams
visits Frida Kahlo's house; Ann Louise Bardach meets the mysterious
Subcommandante Marcos face to face. Fictional accounts are equally
vivid, including poems by Muriel Rukeyser, Archibald Macleish, and
Sandra Cisneros, short stories by Katherine Anne Porter and Ray
Bradbury, and excerpts from John Steinbeck's The Pearl," "Tennessee
Williams' Night of the Iguana," "and Salman Rushdie's The Ground
Beneath Her Feet." "From the bustle of Mexico City to coffee
planations in remote Chiapas, from Mayan ruins to the markets at
Oaxaca, the scenes evoked in this anthology reflect the rich
variety of the place and its history, sure to enchant vacationers,
expatriates, and armchair travelers everywhere.
