From Here to There and Back: Three Short Stories and A Poem<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse Manciaz \/ Xam’le Kuiz<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The three short stories and a poem in From Here to There and Back<\/em> are powerful, political and poignant. As an Esto\u2019k Gna, American Indian\/Native of Texas writer, he might be Native American Indian Literature\u2019s best kept secret. He\u2019s a gifted and crafted wordsmith that puts you in the middle of the scene and sublimely shocks you into viscerally feeling what you are reading. You might call the general genre of Jesse\u2019s writings in this collection (besides short story and poetry), Fictional Memoir, because Jesse draws from his own personal life experiences and recollections as a young migrant field worker, and an 18-year-old Indio Tejano Marine in Vietnam, to fuel his writings that have been fictionalized to a certain extent.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We have thirty minutes to figure it out.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
