| ISBN: 1-558-85165-8 | | Centaur of the North is the winner of the Aztlán Prize, and Finalist in the Associated Writing Programs Award Series in Short Fiction. Centaur of the North marks the debut of a gifted storyteller, a lyric and transcendent voice. In nine resonant stories, Wendell Mayo presents us with characters who long to remove the shadows occluding elusive, almost magical mothers and to explore prescribed, yet not fully understood, destinies. His stories reverberate with a soul-aching need to fit the puzzle pieces together. Family histories, family mysteries emerging from legends - Wendell Mayo reveals the power of family storytelling, both real and imagined. Centaur of the North has been widely and favorably reviewed, for example, in the New York Times Book Review("a powerful first collection" - 12/15/96) and Choice ("highly recommended"). It is a beautiful book, with original cover art by San Antonio Artist Nivia Gonzalez.
