Dagoberto Gilb remains “an artful advocate for the unseen,” writes Roberto Ontiveros for @TexasObserver. The PEN/Hemingway Award-winning author has released two books: a collection of short stories and a series of essays. Which should you read? “These books are different animals,” Ontiveros says. “‘New Testaments,’ with its stories about humble healing and how personal myths may patch up memory loss, is a patient beast.’ A Passing West’ is, with Gilb’s recollections of auto shop epiphanies and insider info about the Corona beers kept in Rolando Hinojosa’s University of Texas office minifridge, decidedly on the prowl.”
