Paperback. Condition: New. Recommended by the New York Times and NBC News, and called one of the Best Books of the Year by Buzzfeed!The New York Times directs readers to Retablos if you want to know "what's life really like on the Mexican border." "Solis grew up just a mile from the Rio Grande in El Paso, Texas, and he tells stories about his childhood and coming of age, including his parents migration to the United States from Mexico, his first encounter with racism and finding a Mexican migrant girl hiding in the cotton fields."-Concepción de León, New York TimesSeminal moments, rites of passage, crystalline vignettes-a memoir about growing up brown at the U.S./Mexico border.More praise for Octavio Solis's Retablos:"This is American and Mexican literature a stone's throw from the always hustling El Paso border."-Gary Soto, author of The Elements of San Joaquin "We inhabit a border world rich in characters, lush with details, playful and poignant, a border that refutes the stereotypes and divisions smaller minds create. Solis reminds us that sometimes the most profound truths are best told with crafted fictions--and he is a master at it."-Julia Alvarez, author of How the García Girls Lost Their Accents" . it's hard not to consider the border itself as a representation of a 'terrible rift,' a split between homes, communities, identities, generations.

If retablos are offerings, then Solis' book is a gift of memory, not always pleasant, but always true."-Beatriz Terrazas, Dallas Morning News"The experience of reading his tightly contained memories in succession is a bit like drawing old coins up from a wishing well. Filtered through veils of distance and time, these scenes and reflections are wonderful and weird flashes of childhood, adolescence and early adulthood in the life of this particular Mexican American boy."-- Sophie Haigney, San Francisco Chronicle"Octavio Solis' Retablos recounts a 'beautiful, messy' youth on the border. Though its title evokes Mexican folk art, Retablos is closer in effect to that of French pointillism. Its small dabs of vivid color produce a brilliant cumulative effect."-Steven G. Kellman, The Texas Observer"In this debut memoir, playwright Solis delivers top-notch vignettes of h.…
