Booklaunch/Reception - DEAD IN DESEMBOQUE - Eddy Robert Arellano - Saturday, May 17 at 3:00 pm

In Dead in Desemboque, Hispanic novelist and indie musician Eddy Robert Arellano, collaborating with three gritty American artists, has also written the first historieta in Spanglish - accessible to all ages and all cultures.

"When a dama named Juanita calls him down to Sonora, Eddy rides across the Rio Bravo and never looks back. He expects to come up against brawls, rustlers of his dogs, and even the sadistic Amazon. But on his first day in Mexico, with the cacti in flower and the snakes far away in their summer bowers, nobody could have convinced Eddy that, at the end of many ugly and erotic encounters along dusty roads full perils, he would end up...DEAD IN DESEMBOQUE."
