Description: The fourteen essays included in this compendium examine Morales' novels and short stories.

Brief description: Marc García-Martínez is a professor of English at Allan Hancock College and a lecturer of Chicana/o studies at UC-Santa Barbara. He is the author of The Flesh-and-Blood Aesthetics of Alejandro Morales: Disease, Sex, and Figuration.

Review Quotes: Borges generatively explored how the finite could grasp the infinite--those perfect spheres and points in space that contain all the universe's points and angles of perception. Alchemical curators Marc García-Martínez and Francisco A. Lomelí show us how words that shape scholarly concepts can lead to the apprehension of the ungraspable. They put into polyversal play perfectly shaped scholarly spheres that open us to the infinitude of Alejandro Morales' multiverses and futurities.--Frederick Luis Aldama, coeditor of Decolonizing Latinx Masculinities
