These essays touch on themes that endure, no\u00a0matter how parched and arid the landscape might be. They examine loss\u2014of innocence, love, and water. They appraise Southwestern art, Latino machismo, Las Vegas&#8217; grip on the popular imagination, the thunder and lightning storms that calm the interior storm, extinction and indifference, and a land that once visited must inevitably be returned to. All testify to a desert city that astonishes and sparkles when the rains finally arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Las Vegas Writes is a program of Nevada Humanities, published by Huntington Press.
