Description

Vivid character cameos, pungent scenes of street life, and cutting insights into the Barrio and the underbelly of East Los Angeles are just a few of the treasures in this remarkable fictional journey. Here an angst-filled philosophizing limo driver, the immigrant grandmother who dreams of a lost childhood, the vitality and sometimes brutal realities of East LA come alive. The community itself is a character in these stories, as raw and unforgettable as the working men and women whose personal relationships offer glimpses into dreams and hopes everyone shares. La Republica de East LA is full of heartfelt stories ringing with a truth fresh enough to challenge the imagination and satisfy the soul.
