Coachella

Description

Its 1983 in Coachella Valley and Yolanda Ramrez, a lowly phlebotomist at the Palm Springs hospital, has a hunch. Gay men, hemophiliacs, and women scarred by cosmetic surgery are dying. Safe blood, like the water keeping this desert green, is a lie.

In the nearby trailer, Isabel Ochoa Dreyfus disappears into a new identity: Marina Lomas. Somewhere in Iowa her businessman husband sits in the dark, staring at his drink, promising never to hit her again, if only he can track her down.

Despite herself, Marina finds companionship at Mac and Gil's annual Casa Diva fashion show. As glamorous men stride up and down a poolside runway, Yo awakens Marina's sleeping desire.

Elsewhere in Coachella, Yo's father Crescencio, a gardener, soothes Eliana Townsend, his secret love, by coaxing life from the earth outside her window. She is dying, most likely from AIDS, but no one will tell her the truth. And through it all Crescencio's sister, Ta Josie, keeps the family steady with wisdom from the Rockford Files and her dead Cahuilla husband.

Truths surge to the surface in this community of false fronts and deep roots as readers are whisked toward the deafening conclusion of Coachella, the latest from one of Chicano literatures finest writers.

Summary: "Coachella"

The truth is that Coachella is poorly written and mildly racist.

1. Ortiz-Taylor creates underdeveloped characters, all of whom are strongly stereotyped.

The Americans in her novel force their Hispanic counterparts to forsake their culture and live in the rushed, lesser culture that they both hate. Both abusive husbands marry Hispanic women and then move them away from their families, change their Hispanic names to American ones, and
refuse to allow them to speak Spanish or to teach the language to their children.

2. There is not much plot and the story is repetitive.

The narrative is chopped up and comes across like the lost tenth story line of Love Actually. We aren't sure if the conflict is with the hospital for spreading AIDS or with men for being abusive. We do know that the only way any of the characters finds resolution is by partnering up with a gay Hispanic.

3. The book has an immature voice and style.

The theme is forced and doesn't arise naturally out of the story. The plot should be built around a concept, but this concept is left slight and underdeveloped. We're forced to draw our conclusions based on the thin, offensively stereotypical characters, not a substantial, well-developed thesis.

Picture this: A fifteen-year-old boy is boasting about how smart he is and what a great vocabulary he has all the while using the lingo found in the latest fantasy dime novel.

The problem with Oritz-Taylor isn't
her subject matter. it's her inability to deal with it in a believable, convincing way.

Summary: "A lovely novel for readers to relish"

Each word in this novel is placed beautifully, combined to create a work of quiet tenacity and understanding. I became involved in the delicate prose, following the lives of people who became so familiar to me. If you love to read good writing, writing that sticks like meat on the bones, don't overlook this novel. It is worth every minute.
