Inspired by kitschy Mexican "historietas" (pocket-sized comic books), Roberto presents an English-language version featuring his alter-ego, Eddy Arellano. When a dama named Juanita calls him down to Sonora, Eddy crosses the Rio Bravo and never looks back. Soon he's embroiled in a complex, comic drama featuring a memorable gallery of quirky characters.
Robert Arellano is the award-winning author of six novels from Akashic and Counterpoint/Soft Skull presses, including the Edgar-finalist Havana Lunar: A Cuban Noir.
