Beskrivning
How to Date a Flying Mexican is a collection of stories derived from Chicano and Mexican culture but ranging through fascinating literary worlds of magical realism, fairy tales, fables, and dystopian futures. The characters confront—both directly and obliquely—questions of morality, justice, and self-determination.The collection is made up of Daniel A. Olivas’s favorite previously published stories, along with two new stories—one dystopian and the other mythical—that challenge the Trump administration’s anti-immigration rhetoric and policies. Readers will encounter a world filled with both the magical and the quotidian: a man with twelve fingers who finds himself on a mystical date with a woman, God who appears in the form of a scrawny chicken, a woman who bravely fights back against her abuser, and Aztec gods searching for relevance after the Spanish conquest—just to name a few of the unforgettable characters populating these pages. The book draws together some of Olivas’s most unforgettable and strange tales, allowing readers to experience his very distinct, and very Chicano, fiction.

Recensioner i media

Cómo Salir con un Mexicano Volador es una obra bellamente realizada que surge de las profundidades de las experiencias culturales de los mexicanos y de los mexicanos americanos." —Michael Nava, Los Angeles Review of Books"Provocado por la tragedia—la muerte de su padre y la pandemia—Olivas repasa décadas de escritura para producir esta colección de relatos nuevos y previamente publicados. La obra de Olivas es surrealista, distópica, crítica, e introspectiva, para finalmente pasar a una retórica política contemporánea." —Alta Journal
