Reviews"This suite of Romo cuentitos evokes a world in which chaos is rampant, and the gyre of events is ever-widening, threatening to explode. Yet these stark vignettes nonetheless show great compassion for people who Romo says are usually dismissed as 'villains, lepers, and murderers.'"-- Texas Monthly, "The result of [Romo's] direct and unflinching language is a work of fiction that denies any predilections toward glossing over situations, but that is Romo's gift: he forces us not only to look but also to actually see these characters and admit that these lives mirror the lives of people we would like to ignore or forget."-- Concho River Review
