Take a look at the new novel Playing for Pancho Villa by Sterling “Doc” Bennett, Andover ’56, a love story set in 1916 revolutionary Mexico, published by Editorial Mazatlán/Libros Valor. The Mexican edition appeared February, 2013 (editorialmazatlan.com); the U.S./Canadian edition, May 2013 (amazon.com, Kindle). Sterling also writes an extensive blog www.sterlingbennett.com containing stories about Mexico and essays on social turmoil and the struggle for democracy. He lives in Guanajuato—a lovely colonial city with a university, an international symphony and the famous three-week long cultural festival called the Cervantino.
“In our world of words – and images, and sounds – cheaply and abundantly deployed, Sterling Bennett’s acute, observant voice will quickly galvanize your attention and hold it. His haunting account of what happens to Frank, a wayfarer in Mexico, will draw you into a story you’ll not easily forget.”
—Tony Cohan, author of On Mexican Time
"Sterling Bennett has lived in Mexico long enough, and has listened to the rhythms of Mexican life closely enough to capture the pulse and the color of old Mexico in his new novel Playing for Pancho Villa. Weaving historical figures and fictional characters into a bittersweet tale of love and adventure, Bennett has created an epic that can be read and appreciated by Americans of any nationality, and whichever side of the border they happen to live and work.
—Jonah Raskin, author of My Search for B. Traven & Professor Emeritus, Sonoma State University, California
“Sterling Bennett, a long time resident of Mexico and aficionado of Mexican history, promises a double-barreled read with this novel that gallops south of the border and back in time.”
—C.M. Mayo, author of The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire
"Sterling Bennett is a beguiling and gifted writer, a virtuoso who intrigues and fascinates, like a poet whose work suggests more than can be fully grasped or absorbed in a single sitting, or a single reading. The world he evokes is a strange and sometimes enchanting place, but also dark, bewildering, even unfathomable.”
—Fred Hills, editor (Raymond Carver, William Saroyan, Heinrich Böll, Vladimir Nabokov) |
