Ghosts, visions, skeleton dreams all abound in this Chicano fiction novel.

If you liked Lords: Part One, you'll love the autobiographical novel, Thick White Crust, a Chicano perspective story about rebuilding lives after 9-11, all intertwined with moments of magic realism.

Here's more:

Thick White Crust is Chicano literature straight from the Southern San Joaquin Valley. This experimental novella, the story of travels from Las Vegas to California is a monument to one man's beliefs in ghosts and visions as a result of lost love in a post-terrorized society. (excerpt 1 excerpt 2)

"...captures the Chicano experience in the Southern San Joaquin during a tremulous episode in American history. He connects the tragedy of 9-11 to the deaths occuring around us at every ghostly hour. His take on a Latino terrorist borne from anti-American thought is haunting."
-Al Guevara

"N.L. Belardes doesn't try to escape his own explosive origins in this autobiographical glimpse into a past as seen through a Latino 9-11."
-Tony Blanche

"...a visionary novel describing the thick white crust of human loathing surrounding our souls. Belardes' novel is a literary triumph from the Southern end of the Great Central Valley."
-Peter Prenshau
