<b>NAMED NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR by <i>Washington Post</i>, BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: <i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, NPR, <i>Men's Journal</i><br><br>A new short story collection from Luis Alberto Urrea, bestselling author of <i>The Hummingbird's Daughter </i>and <i>The Devil's Highway</i>. </b><br><br> From one of America's preeminent literary voices comes a new story collection that proves once again why the writing of Luis Alberto Urrea has been called "wickedly good" (<i>Kansas City Star</i>), "cinematic and charged" (<i>Cleveland Plain Dealer)</i>,<i> </i>and "studded with delights" (<i>Chicago Tribune)</i>. Examining the borders between one nation and another, between one person and another, Urrea reveals his mastery of the short form. This collection includes the Edgar-award winning "Amapola" and his now-classic "Bid Farewell to Her Many Horses," which had the honor of being chosen for NPR's "Selected Shorts" not once but twice. <br><br> Suffused with wanderlust, compassion, and no small amount of rock and roll, THE WATER MUSEUM is a collection that confirms Luis Alberto Urrea as an American master.
