A Shroud in the Family
Garcia, Lionel G.

Very Good, No Jacket as Issued

0934770719 / 9780934770712
BF3 - A trade paperback book, probably a first paperback edition, in very good condition. A tight, clean, sound copy in black and white photo illustrated wraps with minor overall shelf wear plus plus some light chipping to the front, bottom and top right corners. This book looks at a family history that demythologizes the nationalistic saga of Texas. The Texas Revolution is evoked through familial memories and symbols, such as the Shroud of Tamaulipas. But the full concentration of this novel actually ends up centered on present-day Houston and the main character who is dogged by Mexican American social and political problems and by a debilitating identity crisis. A satire on modern life that leaves no stone unturned. 319p. SCW01072
