About
91´«Ã½
"The Tequila Worm sensitively addresses an issue that faces anyone who lives in a minority culture--how do you bridge the gap between the two worlds in which you live? Canales provides an answer well worth considering--you remain true to yourself and your roots, and you freely bring one world into another," said Award Committee Chair Barbara Scott.
