About this product

Product Information

In A Stab in the Dark, originally titled Palos de Ciego, Facundo Bernal poetically chronicles the lives, beliefs, and customs of Mexicans living in Los Angeles, as well as the inhabitants of Mexicali, in the early 1920s. This illuminating work of blends Bernal's journalistic, literary, and poetic pursuits to paint a detailed, captivating portrait of Mexican-American life. Originally published in Spanish in Los Angeles's La Prensa newspaper, A Stab in the Dark is the original work of Chicano literature, and has never before been translated into English. With the original introduction from renowned Mexicali writer Gabriel Trujillo Munoz, an additional foreword from scholar and 2016 MacArthur fellow Josh Kun, and afterword by award-winning Mexican-American author Alex Espinoza, a new light is shed on Bernal's historic work.
