In eight linked stories, the author illuminates Echo Park, an area of east Los Angeles. Some, but not all, of his characters are immigrants; some, but not all, are legal. Some want to leave, some feel stuck, some return. Fascinating stories, beautifully told. It isn’t always apparent what the link is until the end of the story.
If you like linked stories, you might also try OLIVE KITTERIDGE by Elizabeth Strout or TWISTED TREE by Kent Meyers.
