Autobiography/ Latino/a Studies, newly available from SPD. This English translation of ENTRE LETRAS Y LADRILLOS (Bilingual Press, 1996), an autobiographical novel written in the best of Miguel Mendez's baroque and conceptually intense style, evokes one of the most remarkable life histories of this century.
