Anew short story collection from Luis Alberto Urrea, bestselling author of TheHummingbird''s Daughter and The Devil''s Highway
Fromone of America''s preeminent literary voices comes The Water Museum, a collection thatproves once again why the writing of Luis Alberto Urrea has been called"wickedly good" (Kansas City Star), "cinematic and charged"(Cleveland Plain Dealer), and "studded with delights" (ChicagoTribune). Examining the borders between nations and betweenpeople, Urrea reveals his mastery of the short form. This collection includesthe Edgar-winning "Amapola" and his now classic "Bid Farewell toHer Many Horses," which had the honor of being chosen two times for National Public Radio''s "SelectedShorts."
Suffusedwith wanderlust, compassion, and no small amount of rock and roll, The Water Museum is a collection thatconfirms Luis Alberto Urrea as an American master.
