How to Date a Flying Mexican: New and Collected Stories - Paperback

How to Date a Flying Mexican is a collection of stories derived from Chicano and Mexican culture but ranging through fascinating literary worlds of magical realism, fairy tales, fables, and dystopian futures. Many of Daniel A. Olivas's characters confront--both directly and obliquely-- questions of morality, justice, and self-determination.

The collection is made up of Olivas's favorite previously published stories, along with two new stories--one dystopian and the other magical-- that challenge the Trump administration's anti-immigration rhetoric and policies. How to Date a Flying Mexican draws together some of Olivas's most unforgettable and strange tales, allowing readers to experience his very distinct, and very Chicano, fiction.
