The Long Road North
"'If you make the trip,' Javier nodded his head in approval, 'then you would know what it's life. Así podrias sacar el chiste: That way you would get the joke.'" So begins this wrenching, true story of a harrowing journey from the underclass working districts of San Antonio to the towns and villages of northern Mexico and back again. John Davidson followed this perilous path--an unmarked trail traveled thousands of times each year--and has written a "high recommended" (Library Journal) book that provides a unique and moving insight" (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) into the realities of the illegal immigration from Mexico. Through Davidson, the reader experiences every determined footstep across the harsh scrubland of South Texas, the fear invoked by each passing headlight or distant voice, and the ultimate sadness of the mission itself.--Cover

Taking up specifics (When do flashbacks work, and when should you avoid them? How do you make characters both vivid and sympathetic?) and generalities (How are novels structured? How do writers establish serious literary reputations today?), Delany also examines the condition of the contemporary creative writer and how it differs from that of the writer in the years of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and the ...
