Mexico
Kevin McIlvoy, 174 pages, paperback $15:

This collection of short stories
from a Las Cruces-based writer is published by the independent
Graywolf Press. Kevin McIlvoy’s stories are written from a variety
of perspectives — from 11-year-old Chum telling the history
of the state as he sees it, to a bartender who juggles feelings for
two waitresses while coping with a magician who works his tricks at
the bar.
