Distant Journeys

On Guadalupe Street, Sister Fortuna will tell you whether you're dead or alive. It's worth a few bucks. A few miles away the Virgin of Guadalupe is causing unbelievable bottlenecks with her apparitions on front porches and babies' buttocks. On New York's Lower East Side, a Chicano dwarf composes his diary under the encouraging eye of Zapata and Kierkegaard. In these rich and invigorating contemporary fables and complex allegories, irony reigns supreme.
