Sonny Bravo is a tender, unusually smart fifteenyearold who is living with his vivacious mother in a large city where intense prejudice is not just white against black, but also brown. When Sonnys mother, Silvia, suddenly marries an Okie building contractor named Cloyd Longpre, they are uprooted to a small apartment building, Los Flores. As Sonny sweeps its sidewalks, he meets his neighbors and becomes ensnared in their lives: Cindy, an eighteenyearold druggie who is married and bored; Nica, a cloistered Mexican girl who cares for her infant brother but who is never allowed to leave their unit. The other tenants range from Pink, an albino black man who sells old cars in front of the building, to Bud, a muscledup construction worker who hates blacks and Mexicans, even while hes married to a MexicanAmerican woman. Dagoberto Gilb, in arguably his most powerful work yet, has written an inspiring novel about hate, pain, anger, and love that transcends age, race, and time. Gilbs novel displays the fearlessness and wit that have helped make him one of this countrys most authentic and original voices.
