The Mexican Messiah

<p><strong><em>From </em>Vanessa Blakeslee author of <em>Perfect Conditions</em></strong>: Part lyrical thriller part vivid speculation upon perhaps the most pervasive of life's mysteries-not only miracles and faith but transformation and salvation-Jay Kauffmann's <em>The Mexican Messiah</em> beguiles from the very beginning. I couldn't wait to turn the page but also found myself pausing so as not to miss the rich language in which he has captured this world and its inhabitants with wholly convincing and heartfelt precision. This gem of a collection is a work of wonderment itself.</p><p></p>
