Olivas explores Latino/a literature at the dawn of the 21st century. While his essays address a broad spectrum of topics from the Mexican-American experience to the Holocaust, Olivas always returns to queries that have no easy answers-questions about writing and Chicano identity; literature; and the politics of everyday life, among others. Olivas has explored similar questions through almost a decade's worth of interviews with Latino/a authors. Olivas dives deep to discover how these authors create prose and poetry while juggling families, facing bigotry, struggling with writer's block, and deciphering a fickle publishing industry"--Page 4 of cover.
