'Dagoberto Gilb's stories in The Magic of Blood, pulled from a working-class life, are like nothing else out there. The reader tumbles into a Southwest world of bills and debts and being laid off, of old trucks, paychecks that bounce, greedy landladies, fights, cheap girls, drugs, unemployment compensation, difficult bosses, color of skin, languages games, a hunger for work.

The Magic of Blood, Gilb's first book, won the prestigious PEN/Hemingway Award.
