Santiago has given us a collection of short stories that I think perhaps are more than just stories. These stories feel autobiographical and true. It says these are cautionary tales but the lessons are like don't sell drugs, and if you happen to meet a guy named Johnny Rico, you shouldn't pal around with him.
All that being said these do manage to be some of the most entertaining short stories that I've read in a long time. Santiago has a wonderful way with words. And his stories sparkle and delight. If you ever wondered what it's like to be a cartel mule. You can read these. I think he has to call them cautionary tales as sort of his way of saying hey kids don't try this at home. Because his writing is so shiny and intriguing it has a way of glamorizing the lifestyle. Which I'm sure is not his intention. He's not some sort of cartel drug mule recruiter. At all. The man is obviously a true artist at heart. And an excellent writer to boot. And I for one certainly feel like he is doing us a great service with these stories by allowing us to live vicariously through him.
Long live Santiago! So that he may continue to regale us with his wonderous tales. Which are true.
