Review Quotes

Montoya proves that he is a master of the short form with these gripping, evocative, and deftly crafted narratives of the Chicano experience.
--Daniel A. Olivas, El Paso Times

Montoya writes with a marvelous economy of prose, parsing comedy and pathos only paragraphs apart. . . . In its realism about the devastating strength of family ties and the tenuousness of romantic passion, You Must Fight Them is a wise and entertaining tale.
--Pasatiempo
