The Guaymas Chronicles, David E.
Stuart, 394 pages, hardcover $24.95. University of New Mexico
Press, 2003.
Anyone familiar with Southwestern
archaeology will recognize the name David Stuart. Only this time,
he’s not authoring a ground-breaking study of the Anasazi;
he’s writing a memoir of the time he spent in Mexico during
the early 1970s. It’s a fun read, and Stuart is a
compassionate observer of street life. Sections will make you
laugh, but the ending will have you in tears.
