This book surveys Soto's immense range of poems, stories, novels, essays and plays for audiences of prereaders to adults. Soto's world moves from the cotton and beet fields of the San Joaquin Valley to the blue-collar barrios of Fresno, and to urban and suburban settings in Oakland and Berkeley. Chapters analyze a wide variety of Soto titles, from his breakout works like 1977's The Elements of San Joaquin to the Chato the Cat illustrated books for children. With self-deprecating humor, particularly in his poems, Soto combines his wonderment with the trials and conflicts that beset him throughout life. In such novels as Jesse, Buried Onions and The Afterlife, and in his stories for YA readers, including Baseball in April and Petty Crimes, his broad array of characters confront the anxieties and annoyances of adolescence. Although he continues to motivate young Chicanos to read and write, Soto stakes his greatest claims to literary prominence through his poems, which are accessible to readers of all ages"-- |cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Soto, Gary |xCriticism and interpretation. |=^A105826 600 17 Soto, Gary. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00056993 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 Mexican American authors |vBiography. |=^A1012695 650 0 American literature |xMexican American authors |xHistory and criticism. |=^A122569 650 0 Children's literature, American |xHistory and criticism. |=^A19218 650 0 American literature |y20th century |xHistory and criticism. |=^A23018 650 0 American literature |y21st century |xHistory and criticism. |=^A713191 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM / Poetry. |2bisacsh 650 7 American literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 American literature |xMexican American authors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00807207 650 7 Children's literature, American. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00855882 650 7 Mexican American authors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01018935 648 7 1900-2099 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 949 Order on Demand |wASIS |hJOYNER219 960 |o1 |s55.00 |uJENG |zUSD 961 |fDMD |m138099 596 1 998 5916398
