"Fictional collection of short stories about everyday life in the Rio Grande Valley.
If you have ever lived in or frequented South Texas, these short stories will hit home. Wonderful slices of life about life in a region you can only understand if you've lived it."
"Some of the stories fall short of being amazing. Yet a few give you glimpses of a writer finding his words and getting comfortable with his prose. A strong effort that captures an everyday Hispanic community that is becoming a larger part of the American landscape."
"This book has sat, sadly I believe, on my shelf since 2007. Worse I not only have this one but Casares' subsequent first novel.
Brazos Bookstore is hosting Casares Tuesday night and I might go. If nothing else, this prompted me to pull this from my bookshelf yesterday and read it.
Brownsville is a book of stories that all take place in...no surprise here...Brownsville, a city in the most distant reaches of Texas, right next to the border with Mexico.
In every way, a satisfying book. If the stories have the feel of coming through the Creative Writing School Factory, so be it. Every story is well crafted and Brownsville is everywhere in these stories. Words in Spanish like salt in my stew, just enough to slow down my reading and reread now and then."
"This is a debut work for Casares, a collection of short stories. I thought they got better as they went. The stories are of more or less ordinary life set in the border town of Brownsville on the Rio Grande. They don't sweep you up in them as they are pretty low energy, but the thoughts of the people in them (whether you get them first or third person) leave you with a sense that they are real folks."
