Written from 2015 to 2020, these stories resist a singular vision of the border, centering the Rio Grande as a site of transformation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eHere, river crossings lead to cross-country runs and astral projections. A pregnant teenager learns about motherhood from a curandera. A scholarship boy grapples with his fronterizo identity. The sister of a border patrol agent lives in fear of deportation. A child looks into the eye of a drone and sees his family anew.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe River Runs: Stories\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e won the Am駻ico Paredes Literary Arts Prize for Fiction sponsored by FlowerSong Press from McAllen, Texas, and Prickly Pear Publishing from Santa Fe, New Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Ray Garcia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 188956821X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781889568218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prickly Pear Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Thomas Ray Garcia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44133294244095,"sku":"9781889568218","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a980e19-c096-4d2d-8806-b6b62e0ab2f0.jpg?v=1687485243","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-river-runs-thomas-ray-garcia-9781889568218","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
