Drowning Tucson by Aaron Michael Morales
A brilliant writer of place and character, Morales is also a fast-paced and finely-tuned stylist, delivering deeply emotional stories with “ripped-from-the-headlines” resonance. If ever there was a “writer to watch,” he’s it—the third of six children, Morales is a young, media-savvy author who has lived the stories he tells—from growing up in a tough Tucson neighborhood to putting his first set of “brand new” school clothes on layaway with the money he earned from his boyhood paper route, and from becoming a father at age eighteen to becoming the first member of his immediate family to graduate from college. A few of the chapters from this novel appeared in a 2008 chapbook published by Notre Dame’s Momotombo Press. The collection received rave reviews in academic circles and the Latino community, where the novel is eagerly anticipated.
Born in 1976, Aaron Michael Morales grew up in Tucson. At age ten, he became a paperboy for the Arizona Daily Star and since then his jobs have ranged from working in a car parts factory to bartending in Chicago's Oak Park neighborhood. He currently teaches writing and literature at Indiana State University and is working on his second novel.
