Larry Rios, Chicano poet extraordinaire, has a chip on his shoulder and a bone to pick with literature. He's got a sword-swallowing frog named Yuks on the brain and a murder under his belt (possibly). Then there's The Snake-Haired Lady, who won't seem to go away. And don't get ol' Larry started on his ex-it's a sad, funny story. Wait. Is "Larry Rios" his real name? Does he know Jeet Kune Do? Is The Dream Life of Larry Rios some highbrow metaphysical caper? Dear reader, maybe read the book to find out. Maybe don't. Larry'll judge you either way. Peace.
