New novel envisions a town that’s more taco than sausage
It’s easy to find a “sausage fest” in America -- just head to a cheesy nightclub, gun show, or the state of Alaska. But what if a small town lost all of its men? That's the premise of American Book Award winner Luis Alberto Urrea's new novel, Into the Beautiful North. In most American cities, the situation would just be a dating bummer -- mail-order husband, anyone? -- but in Urrea's fictional Mexican village, taco-shop worker Nayeli is forced to recruit strange men. To protect her homeland from bandits, of course (wink, wink).
