Sergio Troncoso Award-winning Chicano author of The Last Tortilla and Other Stories and The Nature of Truth Sergio Troncoso's first book, The Last Tortilla and Other Stories, won the Premio Aztlán and the Southwest Book Award. His second book, The Nature of Truth, will be published by Northwestern University Press in 2003. It is a philosophical suspense novel set at Yale about the difference between being righteous and being evil in the quest for the truth. His stories have been featured in many anthologies, including The Norton Anthology of Latino Literature (W.W. Norton), North of the Rio Grande (Penguin Putnam), Once Upon a Cuento (Curbstone Press), City Wilds: Stories and Essays about Urban Nature (University of Georgia Press), Revista Tierra Adentro: Cuentario (Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes: Mexico City), and New World: Young Latino Writers (Dell). Sergio Troncoso: "My work focuses on growing up on the Mexican-American border of El Paso, Texas and also on moral and philosophical questions. I have lived in New York City for a few years, so this is the backdrop of my newer stories." "I think I started concentrating on school to avoid the work my parents always had in mind. I went to South Loop School and then to Ysleta High School in the Lower Valley. I liked school, I loved to read, and yet I was an outsider. I was a fat little boy who was perfectly happy to be alone. In grade school, I lived for the Friday, every two or three weeks or so, when the teacher handed out the paperbacks we had ordered from the Scholastic Book Club. That was one thing my mother always gave me money for. My books. Comic books. Mysteries. Horror books. Adventure books."

Home Stories and Essays News Articles and Interviews Appearances ... E-mail The Snake By Sergio Troncoso Drawings by Jorge Enciso T he chubby boy slammed the wrought iron screen door and ran behind the trunk of the weeping willow in one corner of the yard. It was very quiet here. Whenever it rained hard, particularly after those thunderstorms that swept up the dust and drenched the desert in El Paso during April and May, Tuyi could find small frogs slithering through the mud and jumping in his mother's flower beds. At night he could hear the groans of the bullfrogs in the canal behind his house. It had not rained for days now. The ground was clumped into thick white patches that crumbled into sand if he dug them out and crushed them. But he was not looking for anything now. He just wanted to be alone. A large German shepherd, with a luminous black coat and a shield of gray fur on its muscular chest, shuffled slowly toward him across the patio pavement and sat down, puffing and apparently smiling at the boy. He grabbed the dog's head and kissed it just above the nose. "Ay, Princey hermoso. They hate me. I think I was adopted. I'm not going into that house ever again! I hate being here, I hate it." Tuyi put his face into the dog's thick neck. It smelled stale and dusty. The German shepherd twisted its head and licked the back of the boy's neck. Tuyi was crying. The teardrops that fell to the ground, not on the dog's fur nor on Tuyi's Boston Celtics T-shirt, splashed into the dust and rolled up into little balls as if recoiling from their new and unforgiving environment.

Get me that other wire over there," Joe demanded and pulled Chuy up to his feet and pushed him down the ditch tunnel toward the station wagon and the slimy green water full of tadpoles and such. "We're gonna tie the re-tard to the Buick, we're gonna tie his legs." Joe slapped Chuy on top of his head, but it wasn't a hard slap. "So he can't run away. What good's a prisoner if he runs away?" I said, grabbing the tumbleweed stems behind me and closing up the entrance. The morning had been way too hot already. There weren't any mosquitoes buzzing yet. The ditch was full of big black shiny flies, the kind that land on dogshit and eat it. Two of 'em buzzed my head, and I jumped back. Hell, I didn't want any shit flies on me. "Araaaayia! Araaaayia! Araaayiump!" "Shut up, damn it. Shut the fuck up," Joe said. "Araaaayia! Araaayiump!" "Turi, shut him up! Somebody'll hear him," Joe said. He was getting angry. He had that bored look in his eyes, the one before he lunged at whoever was in his face. Steady eyes above a slight smile, his shoulders and arms straight like a tight coil. Chuy was sitting in the back seat of the Buick, red foam dripping down his mouth. He seemed happy looking around the bottom of the ditch through the shattered windows, gawking up at the sun through the moonroof. He bounced his tied-up hands on his lap and looked at Joe fiddling with the copper wire around his legs. The wire wasn't long enough to fasten around both legs and the front seat frame.

ISBN: 0-8165-1961-7 (paper), $17.95. -Booklist -Publishers Weekly A debut collection of 12 stories dealing with El Paso's often impoverished, invariably feisty Mexican-American populace. Troncoso's immensely lifelike characters include "Tuyi, the fat boy everybody ignored," in an unusually inventive coming-of-age tale ("The Snake"), an elderly grandmother ("The Abuelita"), whose undimmed zest for life implicitly rebukes her grandson's scholarly pessimism, and a college student aglow with memories of the older Mexican woman whose "unabashed Bohemian warmth" sweetly overpowered him. Though sometimes slightly overexplicit, Troncoso's wistful, endearingly romantic tales vividly dramatize the inherent richness of even subsistence-level lives. He's a respecter of persons, and in turn his characters earn your affection and respect. -Kirkus Reviews John Steinbeck, in writing about his home territory of Salinas and Monterrey, Calif., created for his readers a now familiar and valued place: Steinbeck Country.

14. Why Should Latinos Write Their Own Stories? --by Sergio Troncoso (sergiotroncoso An essay by sergio troncoso, author of the Last Tortilla and Other Stories and winner of the Premio Aztlan and the Southwest Book Award. http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Square/6676/latinos/index.htm

Home Stories and Essays News Articles and Interviews Appearances ... E-mail Why Should Latinos Write Their Own Stories? By Sergio Troncoso Drawings by Jorge Enciso W hy should Latinos write their own stories? Why should I write stories about Ysleta and El Paso, Texas? The first and probably most important answer to this question is that we write stories about our community to preserve our heritage. But we should also write stories that challenge this beloved heritage. I think we should be proud of who we are, but we should also be self-critical and reflective about what we might want to be in the future. Most importantly, we write stories about our community to preserve our heritage. The very first story I wrote, for example, "The Abuelita," is really the most autobiographical story in The Last Tortilla and Other Stories So in many different ways, we can write stories to preserve the memory of our familias and to remember our old neighborhood. We will always belong in this family and in this place in a way that we will never belong with anyone or anywhere else. It is our duty to preserve this heritage and to affirm it and even to celebrate it by writing stories about where we belong. We have a great culture right here on the Mexican-American border. We have a great heritage in Ysleta and El Paso. There is no need to look somewhere else for approval or for higher standards. We have strong families here. Our people are tied to the land. We are for the most part direct and honest. It is true that there are some cabrones here and there. But we are not yet lost in the world. We still do have more civility than hostility toward a stranger. Most of us still believe in something holy. And let me tell you, that is not the case in many places outside of Ysleta and El Paso. In too many places. Sometimes it takes leaving El Paso for a while to appreciate what we do have here. So when you are seeing these hundreds of miles of empty desert between you and the rest of the world, you should not feel isolated or out of touch. You should feel lucky.

The border town also happens to be the setting for the majority of short stories published in his first collection The Last Tortilla and Other Stories (University of Arizona Press). A writer with a keen sense for character development, Troncoso manages to make the Mexican-American people that populate his fiction all too real and human in the span of a few pages. More importantly, you need not have grown up in la frontera to identify and sympathize with his characters. Troncoso's protagonists may be ordinary folk, but the moral and philosophical questions they face are undoubtedly universal. ancianitos striving to keep their faith in God and create a sense of community in the face of the evil and random cruelty they experience in their own barrio. The themes may revolve around age-old questions, but Troncoso's characters are deeply rooted in border town culture.

Sure, each lady was proud of her cooking, but not one of them had the vanity to think that that was the real reason behind this man's miraculous feasting. The speculation was that revolucionarios were all voracious. Somehow, their molecules had speeded up into a permanent frenzy.
