Jeff Caldwell, a white Southern Baptist preacher, introduces his boss, Dr. George Washington Brown, the African-American president of one of the nation's most prominent civil rights organizations.

The El Cholo Feeling PassesThe El Cholo Feeling Passes

 

By Fredrick Barton

 

 

 

 

Originally published in 1985, Fredrick Barton's debut novel, The El Cholo Feeling Passes, chronicles the turbulent relationship of Richard Janus and Faith Cleaver, students in the late sixties and early seventies. As they grapple with career choices, Vietnam, and the Women's Movement, they grow up with--and apart from--each other. Their move from the secure environs of a small midwestern college to the liberal climate of larger-than-life Los Angeles parallels the trajectory of their relationship--and their individual selves--as they are catapulted from the safety of their undergraduate experience into full-blown adulthood...

The 2003 edition of The El Cholo Feeling Passes is the first in a UNO Press reprint line, UNO Press Classics.
