What is A critical collection on Alejandro Morales : forging an alternative Chicano fiction about?

Alejandro Morales is a pioneer of Chicana and Chicano literature and the author of groundbreaking works including __The Brick People__, __The Rag Doll Plagues__, and __River of Angels__. His work, often experimental, was one of the first to depict harsh urban realities in the barrios--a break from much of the Chicana and Chicano fiction that had been published previously. Morales' relentless work has grown over the decades into a veritable menagerie of cultural testimonies, fantastic counterhistories, magical realism, challenging metanarratives, and flesh-and-blood aesthetic innovation. The fourteen essays included in this compendium examine Morales' novels and short stories. The editors also include a critical introduction; an interview between Morales, the editors, and fellow author Daniel Olivas; and a new comprehensive bibliography of Morales' writings and works about him--books, articles, book reviews, online resources, and dissertations. __A Critical Collection on Alejandro Morales: Forging an Alternative Chicano Fiction__ is a must-read for understanding and appreciating Morales' work in particular and Chicana and Chicano literature in general.
