Sounds like a pretty good book. I was wondering, though, given the title, if it deals at all with Narco Corridos.

*************** I'm not familiar with the Narco Corridos you mention. It's not mentioned specifically in the book. There's a short blurb on the first page explaining the significance of the title. Something about corrido being a traditional folk song or a dance or something like that. I'm at work and my memory is fuzzy, but I'm thinking that generic terms for song and dance are canta and baile.

I just thought of another good line in the book. One of the characters is talking about Texas and says that Civil War General Sherman said that if he owned Texas and hell, he'd rent out Texas and live in hell.
