SKY OVER
EL NIDO
FLANNERY
O'CONNOR AWARD
FOR SHORT FICTION
Many
of the stories in Sky Over El Nido are set in Mexico but nowhere near the gringo's manana-land
of mariachis and margaritas.
"Mayo's work is reminiscent of Flannery O'Connor's.
And like that old master, Mayo is addictive and her
collection has a unity that is very satifying."

"A
remarkable literary debut... tautly fashioned prose, alive with
myriad turns of phrase as on-target as they are idiosyncratic."
Publisher's
Weekly (starred
review)
"hauntingly,
humorously beautiful"
Austin
Chronicle
"some
of the most exquisitely fashioned, perfectly measured prose alive
in the world today."
Naomi
Shihab Nye
"The
haywire circuits of our whole electrically but not ethically
connected global village stand exposed in Mayo's work. Sky
Over El Nido won the 1995 Flannery O'Connor Award for Short
Fiction.
I am not surprised."
David
Toolan, S.J., Commonweal
"Sky
Over El Nido is a breath-taking first collection... These
stories are vibrant, strange, loaded with off-beat humor, exquisite
detail, and delivered with near-perfect pitch. Sky Over El
Nido shimmers with life."

Virginia Quarterly Review
