"Urrea wrests strange, beautiful poetry out of the mean, lean desert terrain." –
Publishers Weekly "Urrea is one of the hottest Chicano writers around." –
The Nation "I laughed so hard at one scene in this book that I pulled a muscle in my chest, which makes
In Search of Snow a literal rib-splitter." –
The Albuquerque Journal "Urrea is, in three words, One Terrific Writer. Without getting in the way of the story, his hypnotic, ethereal passages paint a magnificent background. More than once, you'll find yourself rereading a paragraph, not for clarification or out of literary curiosity about how he pulled it off, but simply because it's so beautifully done." –
