Beyond My Adobe Schoolhouse

“Beyond My Adobe Schoolhouse is one of the most heartfelt, fascinating, and charming memoirs I have read in a long time. It tells the full arc of García’s educational life, from a humble, one-room adobe schoolhouse in a tiny village on the Río Puerco to a distinguished career as a professor, poet, writer, and translator. . . . It is the New Mexico equivalent of The Education of Henry Adams. I highly recommend Beyond My Adobe Schoolhouse.”—Douglas Preston, author of The Lost City of the Monkey God: A True Story

“This memoir will touch the hearts of all those who love New Mexico. . . . Beyond My Adobe Schoolhouse will become a classic memoir of a beloved author that explores the intricacies of education and culture in modern New Mexico.”—V. B. Price, author of The Orphaned Land: New Mexico’s Environment Since the Manhattan Project
