Unending Rooms

The winner of the Hudson Prize, this collection of stories, mainly set in the Southwest, digs deep into the lives of its characters. Daniel Chacon's writing is very lucid and dips into Carveresque plain talk at times, but he isn't afraid to use pretty descriptions as well.

Daniel Chacon is author of Chicano Chicanery as well as various short stories and plays. His fiction has appeared in several journals, including ZYZZYVA, New England Review, and Callaloo, and his plays have been produced in California and Oregon. His first novel, and the shadows took him, was published by Washington Square Press.
