Chicano Frankenstein

Reviews

“With its tongue firmly planted in its cheek, this important novel is at once frightening and humorous, and I found myself laughing out loud more than once as Olivas cleverly delivered his cautionary message, served with a basket of fresh baked pan dulce.”

“The real trick of this speculative political satire is that corruption and peril co-exist with compassion, humor, and large doses of Chicano joy. I loved every page-turning minute!”

“Thom Rivera pulls out all the stops with this intriguing Latinx retelling…Rivera’s rich voice adds depth to the characters. He also delivers female voices in a believable pitch and deftly uses various accents when needed.”

“Urgently relevant.”

“Takes a magnifying glass to American life and politics.” 

“[A]s fascinating modern retelling…part science fiction and part political satire…Readers will have no trouble sympathizing with the main character as he works to remember who he once was.”
