The River Runs: Stories
WINNER OF THE BRONZE AWARD IN THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARDS for BEST COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES (ENGLISH).
"Thomas Ray Garcia's The River Runs flows like precious water from the sacred cenote of contemporary Mexican American literature." - Dr. Robert Paul Moreira
"This intriguing collection of short stories is reminiscent of Gloria Anzaldua’s Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza. While The River Runs does not contain poetry, the prose is often lyrical and swells with imagery and symbolism." - Lone Star Literary Life

"El Curso de la Raza is more than a memoir; it's a testament to the enduring spirit of Chicano activism and the quest for social justice."
- Latino Book Review
"Readers curious to know more about the Chicano Movement and students delving into its history and influence will find plenty to consider in this important new work." - Lone Star Literary Life
