E-mail Reviews of The Last Tortilla and Other Stories Troncoso, Sergio, The Last Tortilla and Other Stories , University of Arizona Press, September 1999, 220 pp. ISBN: 0-8165-1960-9 (cloth), $40. ISBN: 0-8165-1961-7 (paper), $18.95. A college student home on summer break tastes love for the first time with an older woman. An old widow invites her equally aged gardener to share her home. Family members struggle through Christmas in the wake of the death of their mother and the remarriage of their father. A boy is nearly attacked by a rattlesnake, only to be rescued by a gruff but friendly INS officer. In his first collection of stories, Troncoso proves to be a challenging but resonant new voice. Setting his tales mostly in El Paso and Juárez , he weaves remarkable fiction from unremarkable lives, homing in on the small braveries that hide in the creases of day-to-day life. Although the longest story is only 40 pages, each one is an organic whole, full of characters who have lives as complete as the reader's. Troncoso eschews cheap sentimentality, relying instead on the straightforward narrative strength of his realistic stories to make his points.

14. Why Should Latinos Write Their Own Stories? --by Sergio Troncoso (sergiotroncoso An essay by sergio troncoso, author of the Last Tortilla and Other Stories and winner of the Premio Aztlan and the Southwest Book Award. http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Square/6676/latinos/index.htm

Home Stories and Essays News Articles and Interviews Appearances ... E-mail Why Should Latinos Write Their Own Stories? By Sergio Troncoso Drawings by Jorge Enciso W hy should Latinos write their own stories? Why should I write stories about Ysleta and El Paso, Texas? The first and probably most important answer to this question is that we write stories about our community to preserve our heritage. But we should also write stories that challenge this beloved heritage. I think we should be proud of who we are, but we should also be self-critical and reflective about what we might want to be in the future. Most importantly, we write stories about our community to preserve our heritage. The very first story I wrote, for example, "The Abuelita ," is really the most autobiographical story in The Last Tortilla and Other Stories . It is really a story about my abuelita , my grandmother, and the ferocious drive and spirit she had when she was alive. When I wrote this story, I wanted more than anything else for others to know my beloved abuelita and to understand what she meant when she said: El que adelante no ve átras se queda . She, more than anyone else, gave me the strength and courage to fight for my dreams. I think I also inherited much of her don't-bullshit-me attitude.

E-mail A Rock Trying to be a Stone By Sergio Troncoso Drawings by Jorge Enciso W e took Chuy to the ditch behind my house, Joe, me, and Fernández , and tied him up. We tied him up tight with a rope I found in the shed. It must've burned his wrists 'cause as soon as Joe yanked on the square knot, Chuy yelped and started blubbering in the way he does when he's hungry, but I know he wasn't hungry. It hadn't been more than ten minutes since I had given him the Heath bar in front of his porch, right under his mama's eyes. Hell, I could smell the frijoles she was cooking in the kitchen just as I dangled the shiny wrapper under those stupid eyes. He followed me like a puppy, and then we tied him up secret-like. Chuy wiggled his shoulders and stood up, his hands dangling in front of him like flippers, but Joe pushed him down hard into a tumbleweed still green from the rain. Nobody could see us in this thicket of mesquite, cattails, and garbage, the best of which was the rusted frame of El Muerto's Buick stationwagon lying near the bottom of the ditch. When that stupid pothead had driven into the ditch drunk, he had left us a great place to wait for the bullfrogs to jump out of the mud when the rains came in the summer. And he also punched a tunnel through all the overgrowth and junk in the ditch, a tunnel that ended up at the

Home Stories and Essays News Articles and Interviews Appearances ... E-mail Author Sergio Troncoso: Turning Ordinary Lives into Extraordinary Tales By RICARDO VAZQUEZ LatinoLink Sergio Troncoso grew up in Ysleta, a small community on the eastside of El Paso. The border town also happens to be the setting for the majority of short stories published in his first collection The Last Tortilla and Other Stories (University of Arizona Press). A writer with a keen sense for character development, Troncoso manages to make the Mexican-American people that populate his fiction all too real and human in the span of a few pages. More importantly, you need not have grown up in la frontera to identify and sympathize with his characters. Troncoso's protagonists may be ordinary folk, but the moral and philosophical questions they face are undoubtedly universal. A good example is " Espíritu Santo," the story of two ancianitos striving to keep their faith in God and create a sense of community in the face of the evil and random cruelty they experience in their own barrio. The themes may revolve around age-old questions, but Troncoso's characters are deeply rooted in border town culture. And one of the author's goals is to take you there to place you smack in the middle of the glaring light of the Texan desert and to invite you to smell the
