cluding the lesson that "a man must find out some things for himself." The old man was undoubtedly homosexual but there is some confusion whether or not he abused little girls as he was accused. He goes mad in jail: one of the more violent ways Villarreal disposes of his characters.

As the Pocho grows older he does find out things for himself. When his father expresses concern that his son might have become one of "those others," he explains, "They have their place." He later explains to his friend:

"about those two guys you were talking about-they're queer, and and they have a bunch of friends that are the same way, but they're real intelligent and good people. They just happen to be like that, that's all. Like a guy with only one leg, or a deaf-and-dumb guy, or a con. They can't help it, but they make the most of their life. And, another thing-they like being that way, and they never fool with me, because they know I'm straight, and I respect them for that. Those two guys live together, and they really love each other. You ought to see them, how nice they talk to each other and the way they take care of one another. Hell, even married people don't act that good."

I am afraid what I am saying about the book makes it seem foolish. It is of such a piece that to take anything from it to look at more closely exaggerates that part as a magnifying glass laid upon the page.

POCHO is erotic realism; a romantic tale told in a realistic style; gamey but rich reading fare.
