Gritos by Dagoberto Gilb
When he first started writing, Dagoberto Gilb was struggling to survive as a journeyman high-rise carpenter. Years later, he has won widespread acclaim as a crucial and compelling voice in contemporary American letters. Tackling everything from cockfighting to Cormac McCarthy, Gritos collects Gilb's essays and his popular commentaries for NPR's Fresh Air, offering a startling portrait of an artist-and a Mexican-American- working to find his place in both the cloistered literary world and the world at large, to say nothing of his strange and beloved borderland of Texas.The Flowers, Gritos, Woodcuts of Women, The Last Known Home of Mickey Acua, and The Magic of Blood, which won the PEN/Hemingway Prize, are among Dagoberto Gilb's prior works. His fiction and nonfiction have published in a variety of publications, including Harper's, The New Yorker, and Callaloo, and has been extensively reprinted. Gilb has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and has been a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Prize as well as the National Book Critics Circle Award. He resides in Austin, Texas.
