Although today Luis Palés Matos is virtually unknown to most American readers, the eminent U.S. poet and writer William Carlos Williams once praised his younger contemporary as "one of the most important poets out of Latin America." Palés Matos was a native, and lifelong resident, of Puerto Rico. Though he was not black, he became one of the Caribbean’s leading advocates of poesía negra (black poetry).

"Arroyo Grande is an ordinary town where unusual things sometimes happen," Choo Choo Torres tells his friends. Indeed, this little West Texas town proves to be a place where unusual things often happen. From an enormous crystal skyscraper that mysteriously appears in the middle of the Arroyo Grande Sluggers’ baseball field…a midnight media shower that inspires a pachanga, complete with music and concessions in an abandoned parking lot…a sudden shift in the whole town’s circadian rhythms, keeping everyone up at night and asleep during the day…a repair shop in town that boasts "We Fix
