“A dark, troubling vision of life in the desert, defined broadly; of mountain lions and drug kingpins, Mexican hopes and Indian feuds.”—Los Angeles Times“In these powerful epic tales of the Sonora Desert, Bowden peoples the harsh land on both sides of the US-Mexican border with saints and sinners, but his enduring hero is the desert itself.”—Kirkus Reviews
Les mer
A forerunner of Charles Bowden’s acclaimed books about the harsh life in the Southwestern borderlands, Desierto offers seven essays that combine the lore of the gypsy scholar, the incantatory power of a prose shaman, and the bracing cussedness of the old-style American maverick.
Les mer
"Where most ecologically minded writers draw a clean line in the sand between man and nature, Bowden stomps all over the sanctimonious boundary, in the process merging history and natural history into a spooky and seamless narrative."
