In Salsa and Chips, Daniel Reveles welcomes us to Tecate, the enchanting dusty border town where no one is in a hurry and Time's winged chariot has broken down on Avenida Juarez. Wander through the... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I first discovered Daniel Reveles while bored one Sunday afternoon and browsing the shelves of a local library. I came across the book and was amused by the cover, so I checked it out (I know, I know....so sue me!). I didn't start reading it right away, but when I did, I could not put it down. I was drawn in by the different short stories, the ironies they contain, the humor and the parts that may you go "umm-hmmm". Right away, I went and got the next three books by him, and have not been disappointed. I've loved them all. He is truly an amazing, magical writer. But to this day I still wonder if the town of Tecate is real?
Salsa & Chips is great

This is one of the best kept secrets of eloquent writing. I've finished this book in one breath. Since I live in San Diego and have been in Tecate, I can relate to a lot of the descriptions. Reading this book makes me want to visit Tecate again and really look for some of the things described. The style of the book is such that Reveles seems to compose music with his words. The descriptions are original, complex and show a command of the english language like no other. The suspense makes this book a first rank page turner. Great book worth to buy several copies of to send to friends.PS. I can't believe I found a autographed copy in the dumpster, thrown away by one of my neighbors. What a sin.
