All across America, the overgrown kids of the middle class are getting their acts together--and getting older. The once-tight Chicano community of Chamisaville is long gone, and the Anglo power brokers control almost everything. Joe Miniver--faithful husband, loving father, and all-around good guy--is about to sink roots. To buy the land he wants, he dreams up a coke scam that will net him the necessary bread. Joe is also about to embark on a series of erotic adventures with three headstrong women, bringing him face-to-face with the terrors (and absurdity) of the modern man-woman scene. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Nirvana Blues \u003c\/i\u003eis part of John Nichols's New Mexico trilogy, which includes \u003ci\u003eThe Milagro Beanfield War \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Magic Journey\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Nichols\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0805063404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805063400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Holt McDougal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.50d","brand":"John Nichols","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994153156863,"sku":"9780805063400","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a74e1ed-6149-4887-9a09-aedbf7df3ae4.jpg?v=1683328441","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-nirvana-blues-john-nichols-9780805063400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
