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.
During the pandemic and in the wake of his father's death, Daniel A. Olivas reviewed almost 25 years' worth of his short stories and chose his favorites. The result is How to Date a Flying Mexican: New and Collected Stories. This collection brings together some of his most unforgettable strange tales that will be enjoyed, again, by his fans, and introduce new readers to Olivas's distinct--and very Chicano--short stories.
