In the early 1970s, three American students living in Mexico witness the
crucifixion and death of a man in a Mexican village. The man was not supposed to die; at
first there is no explanation for his death. Then the villagers turn on the Americans and
stone them, forcing them to take sanctuary in a church. A Crucifixion in
Mexico is about what happened to two of the Americans in the years that
followed.
Gloria is a wanderer, a failure by contemporary standards, not content to wait in a
farmhouse for a photographer to happen by. Andrew is a success, moving comfortably from
one compromise to another, conforming his way to safety. The novel deals with racism,
religion, politics, and the end of the "boomer" generation.
