“Suffused with Hispanic wisdom, tall tales, and slang, the stories enchanted us.”—Kate Nelson, New Mexico Magazine
“A terrific read.”—David Steinberg, Albuquerque Journal
“In these layered multicultural stories [García] draws from his life experience to create folktales that both teach and amuse. . . . Five stars!”—Phaedra Greenwood, enchantment
“García provides the reader with insights often overlooked. . . . The many aspects of life in New Mexico are portrayed with joy and genuine care.”—Vernon Schmid, Roundup
“No More Bingo, Comadre! is more than just a good-humored anthology. An important underlining theme to these tales is about younger generations of Hispanic New Mexicans losing touch with their culture. . . . As with traditional folktales, each story has a moral meant to convey universal themes.”—Johanna DeBiase, The Taos News
“A uniquely New Mexican collection of stories with indelible characters exploring cultural collisions with humor tinged with pathos.”—Sue Boggio, coauthor of Long Night Moon: A Novel
“A sensitive, humorous Northern New Mexico folkloric treasure. It is a view of the evolving world of New Mexico Hispanics by a master storyteller who experienced all of the losses, gains, and compromises made to accommodate that transition.”—Esther V. Cordova May, author of Antes: Stories from the Past in Cuba, New Mexico, 1769–1949
