It's a kind of political murder mystery. (Though political murders in Mexico are seldom very mysterious and everybody Mundo talks to confesses to killing the Mayor)
It's a kind of romance, unrequited love achieved... but then what?
It's kind of ...
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I have been a professional writer most of my life, other than occasional sidetracks into smuggling, law enforcement, and other childish thrills. I've written for urban dailys and weeklies, top national (US) magazines, mail order catalogs, comedians, websites, and books...mostly about Mexico and Spanish. I had two syndicated columns in hip urban weeklies, both award winners, both widely admired and reviled.
I've edited a dozen publications, owned several, had a line of poetry titles, and was at one time a hot-shot mail order marketing exec.

It's kind of humorous (and not the nasty humor you probably expect :-)
It's kind of a travelogue... Mazatlan carnival and Mexican journalism.
Kind of a baseball book... we don't actually see a game played, but sports has molded these characters for life and the topic is always right there.
It's even got a thematic image, hey. There's a point when the velocity of the ball is cancelled out by the stroke of the bat. A point when there is not motion at all... then things go back the other way. Mundo Carrasco's life was defined by that timeless moment of a famous hit. Now he's acheived everything he didn't dare dream of... and the second it's his, it starts to move away.
It's a book chicks like as much as guys... Mundo is quite a guy.
What can I say? Buy a dozen.
I wonder if that's changed now that Voice owns the Weekly?
Yes, Western Washington does mean west of the Cascades but NOT Seattle. Seattle used to be the only place I considered home. But alas, you really can't go home again, because it changes too much. Now I live in the semi-quiet woods. At least presently.
