Publisher's Note
An evocative memoir of growing up in San Antonio, Texas, along the Mexican border interweaves family reminiscences with the history of Texas and Mexico to chronicle the story of one Mexican family and its rich blend of Mayan, Aztecan, Spanish, and American heritage. Reader's Guide included. Reprint.

Industry reviews
"In his uncommonly graceful memoir....Santos wants to make the personal universal, preserving in words a way of life he sees fading even from the distance of England, where he was a Rhodes scholar, and from his apartment in New York city, where he produces television documentaries....[H]e writes in gorgeous English."
Samway 

"A sense of awe permeates this haunting book and lifts it above its easy categorization as the memoir of a Tejano, an appropriately elegant word for a Mexican American born or raised in Texas."
Rechy 

"Santos counts the cost of immigration, assimilation and upward mobility in this graceful memoir, where intimate family chronicle alternates with introspective meditation on the Mexican post."
New York Times Book Review - Suzanne Ruta (12/19/1999)

"This memoir is more than a lyrical tapestry of genealogical alliances; it is an essay on migration and its effect on the human spirit--what is left veiled and unveiled....[It] goes beyond the 'isms' that have stereotyped Latin American and Latino literature for so long. It will break the reader's heart, but it will also educate....PLACES LEFT UNFINISHED AT THE TIME OF CREATION is about that other America, the one that was silenced even as it emerged."
Washington Post Book World - Marjorie Agosin (12/19/1999)
