"Garcia tells a good story. But in "Skin Deep" he takes the 'Chicano novel' out of the barrio to where it has never been before. Here is a novel about two sides of town--and the life that moves between them. "Skin Deep" is a novel about a soul in the modern city."--Richard Rodriguez "An exciting, beautifully paced contemporary novel that is at the same time faithful to its origins, burdened by its past, and dramatically aware of its own cultural options."--Carlos Fuentes

Seller's Description:
New York. 1988. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0374265739. 186 pages. hardcover. Cover design by Drentell Doyle Partners. keywords: Mystery Chicano. FROM THE PUBLISHER-The narrator of Skin Deep is David Loya, a second generation Chicano from the East L.A. barrio. With a degree from Harvard Law School he is a rising star in a major New York law firm. He returns to L.A. in response to an urgent request from a Harvard friend to find a missing illegal Mexican named Josefina Juarez. David's search for Juarez takes him deep into the barrio where the mystery of her fate upends his world and forces him to confront long-buried questions about family, love, friendship, and his own identity. SKIN DEEP is a novel about coming of age in the new America, a place in which races and cultures have not so much melded as collided and in which no identity is secure. Garcia chronicles this new urban landscape with acuity and informed sympathy. inventory #12029.
