内容简介：
A literary tour de force. Like the Rio Grande itself, Chuck Etheridge's Border Cantos winds beautifully through the ethnically rich wold of El Paso, Texas and through the poignant terrain between innocence and experience. This book captures the bi-lingual, bi-racial texture of a region where both Anglo and Hispanic adolescents are forced to come to terms with the culture as they search for identity. This novel tells a captivating story, but it is the author's insight into forces that shape both border life and adolescent boys' psyche that makes Border Cantos exceptional fiction.
