As the name suggests, Mark is a gringo: a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, raised in Newport Beach white boy. Mark himself evades the subject of authorship, claiming that a Muse gave him the story—the complete story, from beginning to end—in the autumn of 2000, while listening to a song by Andrea Bocelli.
Inspecting Mark’s prior literary achievements, we see that he was the sports editor for his high school newspaper, and that in the early 70’s he anonymously penned bad topical poetry for his college newspaper. That’s it. That’s the sum total of his prior literary credits.
Therefore, as unlikely as it is that Gómez the god was divinely inspired, when the editors inspected all the possibilities, they concluded that supernatural intervention was not only possible, but necessary.
We invite you to draw your own conclusions.
Comments from the Cast:
This book introduces a new icon of Latina Womanhood, Carmen Salazar. Beautiful, vivacious, clever and witty, Carmen is at once the embodiment of all that is Latina, and at the same time a True Original. My only criticism of this book is not enough Carmen!
Carmen Salazar
I don’t know if this book is a great book; but it is a good story, and I liked it.
Humberto Sánchez
If every life has a defining moment, for me that moment began in April of 1988—the day ‘Gómez the god’ showed up—and ended on a magnificent, impossible evening in October. I will never forget the people with whom I shared those days. I love them more than words can express.
Alex Morales
I only read it because I have nothing better to do.
