MACHO!
by [Victor] Edmund Villasenor Toronto/New York/London: Bantam Books, (1978). First edition, first printing: a paperback original. Covers and textblock very mildly age-toned, else fine, a fresh, unread copy in illustrated wraps. A novel of the conflict of spiritual, social and economic values during the coming of age of a young Mexican, chronicled in a style that many critics have compared to John Steinbeck. Villansenor's notable debut. MACHO! brings to life the brutality of migrant labor, Cesar Chavez's efforts to unionize the workers, and a vivid portrayal of the immigrant experience as seen through the eyes of a young man who saw it all.
