Soll Sussman, a former correspondent in Mexico who now lives in Texas, takes a look at people and places of interest on both sides of the border.


SOLL SUSSMAN

Soll Sussman reported on Mexico and Central America as a correspondent and regional news editor for The Associated Press. He left for a stint as A.P. bureau chief in Toronto. Because his heart never really left Mexico City, he quickly came to his senses and moved closer to the Mexican border. He now is a freelance writer happily living in Austin, Texas.

FEATURES

new Texas Children's Books
These days, due to a steadily expanding array of new and vintage titles, parents and teachers in Texas and elsewhere can keep children and young people supplied with Texas-themed children's books from infancy well into their Clearasil years.

g Cinco Puntos
When Lee and Bobby Byrd started Cinco Puntos Press, they didn't necessarily intend to become nationally known as publishers of a steady stream of bilingual children's books. They just did it.

g Nine Reasons Why I Like El Paso
Listen up. El Paso is unique, and in these days of increasing homogeneity around the country in everything from accents to retail stores, that's not anything to be taken lightly.

g Lucha Libre
It's as real as you want it to be.

g The Mystique of the River
Rio Grande took on a life of its own once the university press heard about it.

g Diana Kennedy
In all of Diana's books, there is a respect for Mexico and Mexican cooking

g The Original Fake Alamo
There's something just a little bit disorienting about catching sight of the Alamo.

g Saltillo Retreat
When summer heat seems as if it will never end, retreat to this colonial city in the Sierra Madre.

g Caverns of the Other Sonora
Out where the sheep and goats graze outside this West Texas town, expect to be dazzled.
