..."another gem from the University of New Mexico Press. G. Benito Cordova has crafted an often hilarious tale suffused with a dark undertone, just the sort of real-life mix you find in Northern New Mexico."
Synopsis
The mythological saga of Flaco Salvador Cascabel Natividad, a native of Chimayo, New Mexico, and his encounters with alcohol, his community, and ultimately, himself., Big Dreams and Dark Secrets in Chimay? is a mythological saga about Flaco Salvador Cascabel Natividad, a native of Chimay?, New Mexico, and an alcoholic. Benito C'rdova follows Salvador through situations and encounters that expose his vulnerabilities in light of his community's expectations and standards of masculinity. At various times Salvador is an employee at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a patient at the Embudo Rehabilitation Center, and a contracted worker for Abiquiu artist Georgia O'Keeffe. In an alcohol-induced moment, Salvador offers to substitute for the groom, his friend, at a wedding because the real husband-to-be is so drunk he can't stand up. However, the ceremony is all too real and Salvador is accidentally married to his friend's intended bride. At a significant moment in the story, Salvador is hauling wood in a snowstorm from the nearby mountains when he is pinned by a falling tree. Night is approaching, it is getting colder, and, as Salvador lies trapped under the tree, he begins to envision his own death, funeral, and burial in terms of how he has lived his life. He sees the failure of his marriage, which ended shortly after it began in an alcohol haze, and he is tortured by his personal demons concerning his identity as a Génizaro, a Hispanicized Indian. Salvador's story is a blend of humor and tragedy that exemplifies today's rural New Mexico., "Big Dreams and Dark Secrets in Chimay" is a mythological saga about Flaco Salvador Cascabel Natividad, a native of Chimay, New Mexico, and an alcoholic.

Package arrived safely and was securely packaged, protecting it from any damages - very thankful for that! It came as described - brand new and I’m very happy I’m able to write my name on the empty pages. It holds sentimental value. I love the Bible’s from the Precious Moments Company and getting this fulfills my childhood memories. Highly recommend this seller. Would definitely buy from this seller again!

Great value for the money, though I think it is definitely worth more! Book was packaged well and shipped by the seller in a very short amount of time.

Would definitely order from this seller again!
