A twisted and disjointed narrative about the American Southwest and Mexica Sierra. The author has a unique writing style. The book is clipped vignettes of life in the Desert. From the ancient indigenous to the modern developer to the drug runner. The book reads almost like a song, in a good way. Its a painting with stories and ancedotes. A little sad but hard to say exactly why. It feels like something evil this way comes and there is no power than can intervene. Maybe thats just life in the Desert.... ( )
