BRANDO SKYHORSE

06/23/2010 7:00 pm
One of the year's most anticipated fiction debuts is that made by Brando Skyhorse with The Madonnas of Echo Park (Free Press). Very much set in Echo Park, a Mexican community within Los Angeles, this is a book with life, love, and death all acted out to the fullest. "The hard, bitter grit of life in Echo Park, especially for women, is made quite wonderful by warmth and bright color, humor and compassion: this is who we are, like it or not. Altogether a terrific book by a highly accomplished new author." - Peter Matthiessen. "In this insightful book, Brando Skyhorse reveals himself to be a trenchant and passionate observer of the forgotten underclasses of Los Angeles. He's fashioned a desperate La Ronde for Echo Park and a requiem for the 80's." - Glenn David Gold.
