Latino Heretics - Reviews

"The 'Latino heretics' whose short works are collected here, live along the borders of language between Spanish and English, poetry and prose, command and obey. They want power over words—to define "Latino" in their own terms, for instance—and they what words to overpower them. Untamed and roiling, Latino Heretics is a fine introduction to many unfamiliar writers."

—The Village Voice Literary Supplement, September 1999

"Diaz brings together a new collection of thought-provoking fiction. Latino Heretics works hard at giving us clear glimpses into very original voices. The beauty of this volume, and this is where Tony Diaz has a great ear and eye for finding talent, is the new voices he's included. We need more books like this. [It is] necessary, extremely accessible, and simply, [an] excellent and fun read."

—Virgil Suarez, The Tallahassee Democrat, October 10, 1999
