knew about, and in secrecy swore never to reveal? In fact, it was
little more than a small island shrouded in mystery.
Our hero, let's call him Freddy for the sake of confusion, treks
to the land of his forebears that unique land of many names, but to
the confused and disillusioned, we know it as Mexico. Why is he
there? That is the question He suffers many diversions, many
distractions. Many deceptions and many disillusions befuddle his
perceptions of this land of mystery: it is lush and lovely, hellish
and horror-filled, full of music and full of muckrakers...
It also turns out that he is there as an illegal alien while
searching for the answer to a mystery. But Freddy doesn't know he
is there illegally. He only knows that Life has played a trick on
him, and instead of persecuting so-called Wetbacks within the
borders of America, he is now a so-called Wetback trapped in the
land of his forebears, persecuted by the government, and trying to
reverse a very trifling conundrum of misunderstandings borne of the
great mystery that caused him to end up in a land where he'd
thought never to go in the first place
With laughter in the heart, he runs from the so-called "Federales"
while indulging in all the adventures that Mexico has to offer.
Hence, his troubles increase, and tribulations bedevil him as he
tries to find a way out of one trying mess after another.
Meanwhile, he meets a man he never knew existed but would prove to
be the link to the Past he sought, and make sense of all the
confusion. But, all the while these troubles chase him back to the
American border.
The wise men say, in so many words, that nobody knows like Mexicans
know the troubles that Mexico knows. Therefore, to luck we entrust
the resolution of this muddle-some plot, and to the good graces of
our readers. So, read the book and the plot might finally make
sense to you. And, when it does, then tell us all about it
About the Author:
Frederick Martin-Del-Campo, also known as Frederick
Martin-In-The-Fields, is a writer/author with a growing reputation
among itinerant, avant-garde artists and other writers in
California. His writings are now available through international
literary venues, and he edits his own blogs, CHILDREN OF ANGER, and
the increasingly popular LAST OF THE RED HOT PERVS. Frederick is a
native of California. He worked as a teacher of History and ELT
studies while pursuing his calling as writer.
His most recently published book is the powerful THE MEDITATIONS OF
MISERY, which reveals the workings of a mind in permanent
suspension from reality. His grandiose opus, CHRONICLES OF WAR AND
A WANDERER, has received rave reviews both by individual readers as
by professional reviewers since it was released in 2007.
His poignant biographies of his ancestors can be procured in a two
volume series: BOUND FOR THE PROMISED LAND. He reveals his mastery
of the thriller genre with his 2004 release of THE ISLAND OF
ESTASIA. Upon undertaking these difficult projects, he felt they
would enrich the literature of American and International lore. He
has also published a highly-regarded poetic anthology of his own
entitled, ON THE HILL OF CONTEMPLATION.
His latest contribution to literature, A WETBACK IN REVERSE, could
be described as a labor of love "and" hate as it recounts his
experiences and tribulations in Mexico as he sought to find a way
home after being left for lost during a crucial time in his
life.
