Fiction. Akin to Marquez's Macondo or Joyce's Dublin, Dan Mancilla's ALL THE PROUD FATHERS explores a world, sometimes strange, sometimes volatile, full of odd and colorful inhabitants. The rust belt town of Black Hawk is home to gypsies, wrestling bears, clairvoyant clergymen, mafia-like politicians, and in Mancilla's debut book, all are forced to coexist whether they like it or not. Dan Mancilla's ALL THE PROUD FATHERS ushers us through a dreamlike world with precision, leaving us smiling and heartbroken all at the same time.
"ALL THE PROUD FATHERS...is a vision of America, not some clich d American Dream, that rises from the front porches, the corners, streets and alleys of a community called Black Hawk that tells its stories in its own accented, kinetic, multichoral, articulate Americanese."--Stuart Dybek
