Parrot in the Oven: Mi Vida

By Victor Martinez (Author)

Poetic, moving, and harrowing, these vignettes paint a realistic portrait of a Chicano boy's coming of age in Fresno, California. Graphic realism and lyrical imagery highlight not only familial and societal tensions, but also unexpected moments of humor, insight, and tenderness.
