I cannot say enough about this amazing, glorious collection of poetry. I have read almost all of Iñiguez's work. I teach Mexicans on the Moon in all of my college courses, but this book could easily replace that. The collection is so beautifully writ ...more |

| Pedro Iñiguez is one of the best short story writers of our time, in all genres, and this horror collection does not disappoint. As always, I loved the political and cultural critique of his work. His writing is ever-intelligent and gets at important ...more | |

| I have read many short-story science fiction collections, but this speculative anthology about my people, mi gente, ranks among the top ten. The stories filled me with a deep sense of nostalgia. Iñiguez, despite his young age, writes about themes and ...more | |

“I look at her legs, bent out in front of her like a fleshy diamond, the soles of her feet braced against one another. I follow them over her calves, through the dipped valley behind her knees, all the way up the tight fabric of her shorts, and then up over her belly and up to the heaviness of her breasts. There, she got it threaded. (From Jukebox Loser: An Owner's Manual for Idiot Desires)”

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

“I have done that', says my memory. I cannot have done that—says my pride and remains unshakeable. Finally—memory yields.”
― Beyond Good and Evil
― Beyond Good and Evil
“Before the first step, before the first muscle twitches, before the first neuron fires, there comes a choice: stand still or move. You choose the right option. Then you repeat that choice one hundred thousand times. You don’t run thirty miles, you run a single step many times over. That’s all running is; that’s all anything is. If there’s somewhere you need to be, somewhere you need to get to, or if you need to change or move away from where or what you are, then that’s all it takes. A hundred thousand simple decisions, each one made correctly. You don’t have to think about the distance or the destination or about how far you’ve come or how far you have to go. You just have to think about what’s in front of you and how you’re going to move it behind you.”
