Paperback. Condition: Good. Gringo Lessons: Twenty Years of Terror in Taos is a tale of modern adventure about a young man, who experienced the local culture from 1966 to 1987. There he met the community: skiers, La Gente, los vato locos, Chicano activists and their Spanish contemporaries, the artists, drug dealers, fellow soldiers, tempting sirens, the occasional movie star, and a host of con artists. Finally the fool abandoned Taos and returned to university only to return and publish Horse Fly, a monthly journal about politics and art for another decade, which he promises to chronicle in a sequel: Taos Redux: The Horse Fly Years. Bill Whaley, the author of Gringo Lessons: Twenty Years of Terror in Taos, has pursued adventure as an entrepreneur, and journalist in El Norte for almost fifty years. Recently, he edited Paul O'Connor's prize-winning photography book, Taos Portraits. Bill teaches courses in literature, philosophy, and writing for the University of New Mexico's Upper Division Bachelor and Graduate program in Taos. He published a monthly journal about art and culture, Horse Fly, from 1999 to 2009. For his devotion to the local cultura and other stimulating challenges, the so-called Bad Gringo has endured financial failure and suffered the slings and errors of political and prosecutorial misconduct while being memorialized as a figure in a Day of the Dead tableau. If his application to a witness protection plan is accepted, he promises to write a sequel called Taos Redux: The Horse Fly Years, a terrifying comedy of political revenge and retaliation about a pesky insect, called La Mosca. Anthony, Nora (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. After hitchhiking from Paris to Jerusalem, Jordan in 1967, Iris Keltz had to wait three days for permission to cross a U.N. checkpoint into Jerusalem, Israel. That was enough time for this young Jewish woman from New York to meet a Palestinian poet, musician, and world traveler. After a whirlwind courtship of less than three weeks, they married and were planning their honeymoon when the Six Day War broke out. The day Israeli soldiers barged into the basement apartment where the newlyweds had found sanctuary with other Palestinians, Iris was frozen with fear. She meant to cry out, I'm Jewish, American and these are my friends. Her silence that day compelled her to write this book.…
