Literary Criticism. Latino/Latina Studies. The essays and interviews in this collection enliven and enrich our understanding of one of the most important authors of contemporary Chicano/a letters. For much of his career, the late Arturo Islas faced rejection in both mainstream and Chicano literature. These essays map Islas's oeuvre and its expression of a complex Chicano identity that must be included within a contemporary American canon.
