Leo Romero

The American West provides a backdrop for these stories set in California and New Mexico. Romero introduces us to an elderly woman living in a trailer near a petroglyph site who makes it her business to educate visitors about the drawings; a young boy who falls in love with the picture of a woman on an old orange crate; and a rather unattractive single man who must make up stories of sexual encounters in order to entertain his married friends.

"Leo Romero's stories are unearthed memories, leading us from an introspective childhood through the struggles of a young man to find himself." - Rudolfo Anaya, author of Bless Me, Ultima
