From This Wicked Patch of Dust:
"Troncoso is clearly adept at his craft, telling a story filled with rich language and the realities of family life....With its skillful pairing of conflict over religious and familial obligations with the backdrop of a Mexican-American family’s love for one another, Troncoso’s novel is an engaging literary achievement."
---Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
Crossing Borders: Personal Essays:
"These very personal essays cross several borders: cultural, historical, and self-imposed....We owe it to ourselves to read, savor and read them again."
---The El Paso Times
