Sergio
Troncoso graduated from
On The Nature of Truth: "Troncoso excels as a narrator, a storyteller, and a
creator of vivid characters and images." ---Southwest Book Views "Impressively lucid first thriller." ---The
Chicago Tribune "The Nature of Truth is a unique meditation
on redemption and retribution that tackles racism, homophobia, and
anti-Semitism with sensitivity and skill. Troncoso's legacy is in having
expanded the social and geographical terrain of the Chicano narrative with
enviable aplomb." ---The El Paso Times "The subtlety, and fairness, with which Troncoso
presents these conflicting frameworks [Nietzschean
valor, Christian pragmatism, and blind inductivism]
stand as the novel's crowning intellectual achievement, side by side with the
artistic one: a convincing tale of murder and ruminating guilt."
---Janus Head, a journal of Philosophy, Literature and Psychology |
