Adventure Fiction, Autobiographical Novel
 
Located across the U.S.-Mexican border in Ciudad Juarez, Mariscal Street (otherwise known as the Boulevard of Broken Dreams) harbors Donald O'Donovan's quintessential character, Jerzy Mulvaney, as he unsuccessfully courts the Tarantula Woman a prostitute named Ysela with a tattoo of a tarantula on her left shoulder blade. Rather than a work of fiction, Tarantula Woman is a refreshingly honest document that subtly addresses such essential subjects as life, love, death and the challenge of simply being.

Solid binding with clean pages & light cover wear. About 8 x 5 with 200 pp.
