Author Spotlight – Rudolfo Anaya
Rudolfo Anaya is known as the father of Chicano literature. He has written several important books, including Bless Me, Ultima, Heart of Aztlan, and Tortuga. Anaya said “I’ve always used the technique of the cuento. I am an oral storyteller, but now I do it on the printed page. I think if we were very wise we would use that same tradition in video cassettes, in movies, and on radio.”
