The idea
The witness names Anaya as a leading Mexican American writer and calls Bless Me, Ultima, of nineteen seventy-two, a poetic novel. It follows a boy in rural New Mexico and the healer who joins his family, and it founded Chicano fiction courses.
In practice
A boy, a healer, a New Mexico village.
Where people slip
The witness's word for the book is poetic.
