A Pulitzer Prize Finalist

Rodriguez’s acclaimed first book, Hunger of Memory raised a fierce controversy with its views on bilingualism and alternative action. Now, in a series of intelligent and candid essays, Rodriguez ranges over five centuries to consider the moral and spiritual landscapes of Mexico and the US and their impact on his soul.

FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER PRIZE

“In it’s most powerful passages, Days of Obligation reveals the writer as a tightrope walker who balances pessimism and the defeat of predictable expectations against the discovery of the profoundly unanticipated.” – The New York Times

“Rodriguez’s moral and aesthetic imagination guarantees that this beautiful book will linger long after the polemics in the culture wars subside. ” – Kirkus Reviews
