Ron Arias

About Ron Arias' most recent work, The Wetback and Other Stories, Paul Theroux writes: "I felt reading these wonderful stories that I was admitted to an adjacent neighborhood, a rich culture that is another world—call it Amexica—both mysterious and magical, that is persuasive through its tenderness. My hope is that Ron Arias continues to write short stories that tell us who we are." Arias' other books include The Road To Tamazunchale, a novel nominated for a National Book Award; Five Against the Sea, a true survival saga; Healing from the Heart, with Dr. Mehmet Oz; Moving Target: A Memoir of Pursuit, White’s Rules:Saving Our Youth, One Kid At A Time, with Paul D. White, and My Life As A Pencil, from Red Bird Chapbooks, a small, hand-crafted collection of non-fiction stories, beginning with a wine-drinking, sit-down chat in Pamplona, Spain, with Ernest Hemingway. Arias lives with his partner, artist Karen de la Peña, in Ventura, CA.
