"Garcia tells a good story. But in "Skin Deep" he takes the 'Chicano novel' out of the barrio to where it has never been before. Here is a novel about two sides of town--and the life that moves between them. "Skin Deep" is a novel about a soul in the modern city."--Richard Rodriguez "An exciting, beautifully paced contemporary novel that is at the same time faithful to its origins, burdened by its past, and dramatically aware of its own cultural options."--Carlos Fuentes
