PEN Center West Award Winner: A novel of myth and migration set in a mid-twentieth-century New Mexico barrio, by the author of
Bless Me, Ultima.
Today is the day Benjie Chávez and his family will leave the town of Guadalupe behind. Far from the land of the eagle and the nopal, they travel west to find a new home of opportunity. But adapting to the big, impersonal city of Albuquerque is no easy task. As both life and death come to the barrio, a blind seer named Crispin arrives in the Chávezes' world. At first everyone dismisses his stories about an elusive place called Aztlán as the ramblings of an old man. But gradually, they come to realize that he can see what they cannot.
In earthy prose, American Book Award-winning author Rudolfo Anaya tells a spellbinding story of myth and migration, love and loss.
Heart of Atzlán is a hopeful and heartbreaking novel about people in search of the shimmering mirage of a better life-and the land that keeps calling them back.
