Gordo

Gordo, Jaime Cortez's debut collection of short stories, offers a poignant and honest glimpse into life at a migrant workers' camp in 1970s California. Through shared experiences of growth, family, and community, the stories explore themes of identity, belonging, and resilience amid a backdrop of labor struggles and cultural discovery. With humor and depth, Cortez redefines notions of what it means to be American, capturing the vibrant complexities of life on the margins.
