The Water Museum

A new short story collection from Luis Alberto Urrea, bestselling author of The Hummingbird's Daughter and The Devil's Highway

From one of America's preeminent literary voices comes The Water Museum, a collection that proves once again why the writing of Luis Alberto Urrea has been called "wickedly good" (Kansas City Star), "cinematic and charged" (Cleveland Plain Dealer), and "studded with delights" (Chicago Tribune). Examining the borders between nations and between people, Urrea reveals his mastery of the short form. This collection includes the Edgar-winning "Amapola" and his now classic "Bid Farewell to Her Many Horses," which had the honor of being chosen two times for National Public Radio's "Selected Shorts."

Suffused with wanderlust, compassion, and no small amount of rock and roll, The Water Museum is a collection that confirms Luis Alberto Urrea as an American master.
