White sputum ejaculating from the abyss of blackness on the contorted face. Arms upraised toward her like blood-red streams gushing from the eight-foot hulk of ghastly malevolence. "¡ Maldito Demonio Get away from my house!" Doña Dolores Rivero hissed in a creaky scream, her own eyes aglare with the image of the evil spirit outside. " Dios en el cielo , please help this poor old woman!" She yanked the wooden crucifix off the nail on the wall next to her fold-out bed. The defeated manchild , with His bloody crown of thorns, quivered against her full breasts and the sheer emerald gauze of her nightgown. "Save me, mi Dios . Please slay this son of Lucifer!" she cried, tightly clenching her eyes shut to the edge of a schizoid blackout. Doña Dolores peered again through her window down to the garden one floor below. She twisted her head to see beyond the thick evergreen bushes abutting her apartment wall. She thought she found a wisp of crimson smoke drifting up into the nothingness of the desert stars. But really, only the wan amber from the streetlight sifted into the shadows, the darkness barely alight. She kissed Jesus on the holy forehead and hung Him up anew to keep a vigil for Lucifer's princes while she slept. She pulled the flowered plastic curtains closed, knelt by her bed, and breathlessly chanted three Hail

I'd never been with someone like her before. I was terrified. But she seemed shy and even unsure about herself. I didn't understand that at all. What did she see in me ? She had of course looked at herself. Everyone I knew had looked at her. I heard all the comments about her, wishful comments. But with me she was just playful and tentative. I kissed her, looked out the window of my mother's Buick Regal. She pressed against me and unzipped her skirt. She unzipped her skirt and laughed. My God! Did anyone do this in a car anymore? Next to an office park in the middle of the night? Only in El Paso. Jesus. It was very warm holding her. I loved holding her hips. She was soft in all the right places.

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.

The Nature of Truth AUTHOR: Troncoso, Sergio ISBN: 0810119919 Compare price for this book Editorial Review from Amazon The Nature of Truth - Book Review, by Troncoso, Sergio About the Author Book Description This convention-challenging suspense novel represents the next wave of Latino literature, eschewing the stereotypical story of poverty in the barrios or discrimination to explore the differencesand linksbetween righteousness and evil in the search for moral truth. Helmut Sanchez is a young researcher in the employ of the renowned scholar Werner Hopfgartner. By chance Sanchez discovers a letter written in the 1950s by Hopfgartner mocking feelings of guilt over the Holocaust. Appalled, he digs into the scholar's life, determined to find the truth and finally uncovering the evidence of Hopfgartner's sordid past. Sure of his conclusions, Helmut decides that only one shocking act is morally correct. When he does, the consequences are immense, and the toll taken on his mind and conscience is amplified when one of his friends is wrongly accused of the crime-and is wrongly left to pay for it. Intelligent and literate

E-mail A Day Without Ideas By Sergio Troncoso Drawings by Jorge Enciso I imagine that one morning I will wake up and have no ideas. One morning I will wake up and only see my wife slowly getting out of bed, just a few seconds before me. I will only see a tired woman rushing to make my son's lunch. Maybe I will also see her take a shower before she answers the calls of my other son, the baby. The little one sometimes sings in his crib, and one morning, maybe, I will only hear the sounds that woke me up. I will not hear him. I will not laugh at his attempt at melody. I will not see the brave woman who gets up to take care of him. I will not see anything at all but a tired world, a materialistic world, a quiet world, a non-world. My eyes will function, but I will not see much. On this morning without ideas, I will take the four-year-old to school. Maybe I won't even talk to him, although he loves to tell stories as much as I do. In fact, I know he is a much better storyteller than I am. But on this particular morning, I will not hear his stories about Captain Morgan, the fearsome pirate. Once on the uptown subway to school, you see, we saw a poster for Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum. Every day we began telling Captain Morgan stories. One adventure would lead to another. After finding the treasure of the Lost Island, the poor captain would be blown off course by a storm.

32. Reviews Other Stories. by sergio troncoso ( Tzero Interview) Reviews troncoso, sergio, The Last Tortilla and Other Stories, University of Arizona http://www.writersvillage.com/sergio-troncoso.shtml

Writers' Village University Home Study Groups The Last Tortilla by Sergio Troncoso (T-zero Interview) Reviews Paperback Hardcover Chat with Sergio on Sept. 18 at WVU Reviews: 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. Enthusiastically recommended. -Booklist -Publisher's Weekly A debut collection of 12 stories dealing with El Paso's often impoverished, invariably feisty Mexican-American populace. Troncoso's immensely lifelike characters include "Tuyi, the fat boy everybody ignored," in an unusually inventive coming-of-age tale ("The Snake"), an elderly grandmother ("The Abuelita"), whose undimmed zest for life implicitly rebukes her grandson's scholarly pessimism, and a college student aglow with memories of the older Mexican woman whose "unabashed Bohemian warmth" sweetly overpowered him. Though sometimes slightly overexplicit, Troncoso's wistful, endearingly romantic tales vividly dramatize the inherent richness of even subsistence-level lives. He's a respecter of persons, and in turn his characters earn your affection and respect.

Main Authors htmlAdWH('7002392', '234', '60'); 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 Beyond Aztlán : Chicanos in the Ivy League By Sergio Troncoso Drawings by Jorge Enciso 'C hicanos in the Ivy League' often means 'Chicanos in exile.' When we go beyond Aztlán , beyond our communities in Texas or California or New Mexico or Colorado, we cross our own frontera , in a way, and we have to find how to survive and even thrive. Sometimes we can't go back 'home' in just the same way as we came. Like Odysseus, we set ourselves adrift, our curiosity pushes us a bit further from home, and when we finally make it back, if we make it back, we find the world has changed. We have changed. After our geographical and cultural travels and travails, we may also be the ones with the most questions about who we are. Not all Chicanos go through the cultural adjustment trauma that I experienced. But some still do, and probably some always will. When I went to Harvard, I wasn't a sophisticated Chicano from LA. I certainly wasn't a sophisticated Mexican-American from Houston or San Antonio. I wasn't even a sophisticated Mexicano from El Paso. I was from Ysleta, a

The Hudson Valley Writers' Center presents a reading with Deborah Schupack and Sergio Troncoso Thursday, June 19th, 2003, 7:30 pm PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE The search for truth is a nightmare in these two debut novels. In Deborah Schupack ’s Boy on the Bus , a mother worries that the 8-year-old who has gotten off the bus is not her real son, Charlie, although as her husband says, It sure looks enough like him. The family shares her unease but looks to her for certainty. Library Journal calls the novel utterly original and says it preys on a fear that every mother must experience when looking at her son or daughter. Kirkus Reviews says, Schupack announces her presence at the table of writers who deserve to be heard. In Sergio Troncoso ’s The Nature of Truth , a young Mexican-German researcher, Helmut Sanchez, discovers sordid truths about the renowned Yale scholar for whom he works, Werner Hopfgartner. The shocking act Sanchez commits in response to his discovery seems to him the morally correct choice, but it plays out in complex and very troubling ways. Says fellow novelist, Dagoberto Gilb, of this book, Troncoso has widened the field for all of us, writing a novel with a range and depth that is fearlessly consumed with issues of the mind. What a gutsy book! Schupack has taught writing and literature at Vermont College, The New School, and Yale University. Her articles and short fiction have appeared in numerous publications, including
