Synopsis
Winner of the Southwest Book Award and the Premio Aztlan, House of Houses, is Pat Mora's lyric reconception of the Day of the Dead. Rather than just a few hours, we experience a year in an imaginary home redolent with the tastes, smells, sounds, and stories of Mora's Southwestern childhood. In this house the dead walk and talk among the living, sharing laughter and tears, and fortifying dreams with experience.
