Acclaim for A Stab in the Dark

Bernal wants to purify, he wants to whip with his “palo ciego,” his rough-cut blindness, his piercing pen-point that refuses the cultural slippage of a new kind of Mexican. In desperation, it seems, on a mission, Bernal documents his journeys through a morphing early 20th-century intra-nation: “Angelópolis,” Mexicali, and points in between. The “authentic” dissolves in “Yankee-landia,” yet it is also fused in a revolution poetry of his own — multi-voiced, odd-angled, born at the intersections of borderland lingo, personas, and formats. A profound forerunner and city street-news poet of a Latinx word howl to come. Ground-breaker, research-maker, prize igniter for a time of brave new chaos.
