Hit List: The Best of Latino Mystery,
edited by Sarah Cortez and Liz Martinez,
foreword by Ralph E. Rodriguez, Ph.D, (Arte Público
Press, 2009, features The Skull
of Pancho Villa, a new story that takes on
the urban myth (?) of the grave-robbing theft of Pancho Villa's skull
and its eventual resting place. In the publicity flyer for this short
story anthology, the editors say that "someone has stolen the family
heirloom and it's up to Gus Corral to get it back." Gus Corral is one of
my favorite characters - let me know what you think of this story. Other writers
in this much-anticipated and long overdue book include Lucha Corpi,
Rolando Hinojosa, A.E. Roman, Steven Torres, Carolina García-Aguilera,
Alicia Gaspar de Alba, Mario Acevedo, Sandra Ramos O'Briant, and Sergio Troncoso.
