Crazy Loco Love

Villaseñor, Victor. Crazy Loco Love. 2008. (B Villa.V Villa.V)

Crazy Loco Love is Victor Villaseñor’s memoir about his teenage years in a Mexican-American family. But be forewarned about his literary style: Villaseñor capitalizes entire sentences, overuses exclamation points, and is unnervingly repetitive. Philosophical discussions with his mentors are self-aggrandizing; his spiritual beliefs are a weird patchwork of half-baked notions. Yet after I finished reading Crazy Loco Love, what remained was the memory of a highly-amusing tall tale peppered with half-cracked characters in remarkable circumstances…all told with trademark Villaseñor rage, passion, and humor. If you can live with a sophomoric narrative and magical realism in a non-fiction work, you may find Crazy Loco Love well worth the effort. Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. (Russ K., Ref.)
