Sanchez, Thomas. Mile Zero. First edition. New York, A. A. Knopf, 1989. 25 cm. 349 pages. One map illustration. Original hardcover with illustrated dustjacket in Protective Mylar. Excellent condition signed first edition with only very minor signs of external wear. Mile zero marks the location of Key West -- the island that defines the end of the American road, the cultural junction where Anglo-Saxon, Latin, and Afro worlds collide. On this island, with its cruel legacy of slave trade and Latin revolution, and its turbulent present of marijuana millionaires, threadbare illegal immigrants, and hard-luck treasure hunters, lives St. Cloud, an American expatriated in his own country, a fugitive from the unresolved anguish of his generation. Chronicling St. Cloud's dangerous reawakening, Mile Zero illuminates the inward and outward tumult of our time in a huge, startling, and profoundly felt novel. (Amazon)

Review:
"Dazzling...a comic masterpiece crackling with backhanded wit... bursting with vital characters...a novel of uncommon richness....Its brilliantly contrived plot uncoils with the suspense of a thriller."
--New York Times Book Review
"A holy terror of a book...[It has] immense power and passion.... Half mystery, half panegyric and wholly one of a kind, Mile Zero is [a] fascinating novel about the end of the American road and the beginnings of a new world."
--Washington Post Book World
"A mythmaking and magisterial novel." --Vanity Fair
