“The Dark Side of the Dream” by Alejandro Grattan-Dominguez, Arte Publico Press 434 pages $11.95 US
The “Dark Side of the Dream,” an intriguing and richly textured novel by Lakeside author Alejandro Grattan-Dominguez, places the reader within a complex and often heart-breaking world where the realities of Mexican and North American cultures are engaged with a clarity that renders futile the stereotyped understandings that now dominate border politics. With great skill and a deep understanding of Mexican-American life, Grattan weaves a sweeping story of the Salazar family’s migration in 1942 from Chihuahua City to the United States border area and on into Texas.
