About this product

Product Information

The Milagro Beanfield War is the first book in John Nichols's New Mexico trilogy ("Gentle, funny, transcendent." -- The New York Times Book Review ), later adapted to film by Robert Redford. Joe Mondragon, a feisty hustler with a talent for trouble, slammed his battered pickup to a stop, tugged on his gumboots, and marched into the arid patch of ground. Carefully (and also illegally), he tapped into the main irrigation channel. And so began-though few knew it at the time-the Milagro beanfield war. But like everything else in the dirt-poor town of Milagro, it would be a patchwork war, fought more by tactical retreats than by battlefield victories. Gradually, the small farmers and sheepmen begin to rally to Joe's beanfield as the symbol of their lost rights and their lost lands. And downstate in the capital, the Anglo water barons and power brokers huddle in urgent conference, intent on destroying that symbol before it destroys their multimillion-dollar land-development schemes. The tale of Milagro's rising is wildly comic and lovingly tender, a vivid portrayal of a town that, half-stumbling and partly prodded, gropes its way toward its own stubborn salvation.

Reviews
"Gentle, funny, transcendent." -- The New York Times Book Review "A work of genius . . . Hilarious." -- Newsday "Transcendentally profound, also achingly funny . . . Like a wonderful poem, or a great restaurant." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "An epic scope, a wide-screen background, a large and varied cast of charming eccentrics and truly rotten villains." -- The Washington Post "Deserves to be both widely read and profusely honored . . . A great, big, wonderful book." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "One of the most compelling novels I've read in a long time . . . As timeless as it is timely." -- Chicago Tribune Book World

This was shipped with another item. Only "issue" involved tracking numbers. Was a little confusing, following a rogue shipment (after a week of my regular carrier's temp replacement misdelivering *all* of my mail and packages this week, I was spitting teeth) , but it turned out fine in the end. A minor brain fart happens to everyone. ;-) Seller was kind and responsive to my concerns, I appreciated that. Items were in great condition and packaged smartly. I'll shop with them again in future.

    Small Field--Big Emotions!

    Amazing Characters! Both the humans and the pets and other! Loved Pendejo the dog, Pacheco's pig, and el brazo de Onofre.

    OK! But patronizing!

    Really gets to the heart of Norteno way. Just patronizing the simple folk. His Fragile Beauty is more compassionate and important of a view of the place in which I live.

    Beanfield

    somewhat slapstick, entertaining and somewhat a fun read. You will understand the characters better here than in the movieg
