The Spell of New Mexico

Edited by Tony Hillerman
University of New Mexico Press

A rich gathering of essays that evoke the unique and mysterious appeal New Mexico has had for some of the twentieth century's best-known writers. Included are selections by Mary Austin, Oliver La Farge, Conrad Richter, D.H. Lawrence, C.G. Jung, Winfield Townley Scott, John DeWitt McKee, Ernie Pyle, Harvey Fergusson, and Lawrence Clark Powell. Hillerman's preface and introduction are choice specimens of his incisive humor and his own deep love of the state.


"Should be required reading for all those who call themselves New Mexican."--James Arnholz

He [Hillerman] also wrote or co-wrote several books of nonfiction and photos-and-text about the Southwest, such as Hillerman Country and The Spell of New Mexico, and if you've fallen in love with the territory after reading his novels, these make marvelous companions.'--CrimeReads
