Soft cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. From the author: I never liked pig cookies very much. But they were what you got growing up in the Fifties along the border--pig cookies at birthday parties, on Christmas, Saints' days, and the rest. Pig cookies were part of our child's litany of sweets, along with the light brown, near-liquid bars of fudge, the "cajeta", and "ciruelas", and those little plastic packets of colored, sugar-and-chili "tamarindo". But because the gingerbread cookies looked like pigs, well, that was the thing. Who could resist them, lying fresh-made on a tray in the bakery. And that's all it took, as a child, if you laughed, just once, at someone dangling a pig cookie in front of you, then the whole family from then on thought they were your favorite. Because of that, they've been around for centuries. Ask anyone. "Cochitos", they are called in Mexico, and people still say--"remember how you used to like "cochitos"?" But I never did. I liked the chewy "cajeta much better", even if I didn't know what it was, exactly. I even liked the vague taste of the balsa wood box the "cajeto" came in, whose top you would have to break in half and then use as a spoon to get the stuff out. But gingerbread is gingerbread. You might like other things better, all right. You might like them a lot better. But pig cookies--you don't forget pig cookies. Set earlier this century in a small village in northern Mexico, these interrelated stories revolve around extraordinary characters whose fortunes rise and fall in the eyes of their ever-watchful neighbors. Among the many memorable townspeople in Lazaro Luna, whose life is the most interwoven with others. Don Lazaro and other endearing characters populate the lyrical and enchanting world of Alberto Alvaro Rios, a place where "there is no need of wind, not with so many whispers.".…
