Daniel Olivas
We are proud to present Daniel Olivas,
Chicano magical realist and author of

_________________________________________________
"Provocative and edgy, Devil Talk projects Mexican folklore
and Chicano culture into the twenty-first century with bizarre
twists and turns throughout."
~ Multicultural Review"By bringing his real-life experience to his fiction,
Olivas creates characters who ring true."
~ Stanford Magazine"Anything can happen in one of Daniel Olivas's stories.
These are disorienting, sometimes disturbing, but always
entertaining tales told by a master folk-teller who knows
we would much rather listen to the devil talk
than hear an angel sing."
~ Rob Johnson, editor, Fantasmas
