Book

There is a Rio Grande in heaven : stories / Ruben Reyes Jr. ; art by Marina Demidova.

Reyes, Ruben, Jr., (author.). Demidova, Marina, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Ruben Reyes Jr. conjures strange dreamlike worlds to explore what we would do if we woke up one morning and our lives were unrecognizable. Boundaries between the past, present, and future are blurred. Menacing technology and unchecked bureaucracy cut through everyday life with uncanny dread. The characters, from mango farmers to pop stars to ex-guerrilla fighters to cyborgs, are forced to make uncomfortable choices--choices that not only mean life or death, but might also allow them to be heard in a world set on silencing the voices of Central Americans." -- Provided by publisher.
