Winner of the Premio AztlÃ¡n Literary Prize

CanÃculaâ€”the dog daysâ€”a particularly intense part of the summer when most cotton is harvested in South Texas. In Norma CantÃºâ€™s fictionalized memoir of Laredo in the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s, it also represents a time between childhood and a still-unknown adulthood. Snapshots and the authorâ€™s re-created memories allow readers to experience the pivotal events of this worldâ€”births, deaths, injuries, fiestas, and rites of passage.
In celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the original publication, this updated edition includes newly written pieces as well as never-before-published imagesâ€”culled from hundreds of the authorâ€™s family photosâ€”adding further depth and insight into this unique contribution to Chicana literature.
