Bless Me, Ultima

Bless Me, Ultima

by Rudolfo A. Anaya

  • LITERATURE
  • 1999
  • PAPER
  • 290 PAGES

The first-person tale of Antonio, a Chicano boy whose life is changed when a mystical woman named Ultima comes to live with his family. Anaya's first novel, this now-classic book is based, in part, on the author's own experiences as a Chicano growing up in New Mexico. It evokes the folkways and beliefs of traditional villages in the Southwest. Anaya has since written dozens of novels, mysteries, stories, plays, and children's books set in and around Albuquerque. Originally published in 1972.  (USW264, $13.95)
