Chosen by Booklist as One of the Best Books of 1996! Guatemalan immigrant Alfredo Santayana doesn't know much English, but he does understand the phrase "I want to buy a vowel"--an important incantation that leads to wondrous wealth in his new land, America. Unfortunately, Alfredo has a lot more to learn in this touching novel of the immigrant experience--a wonderfully entertaining satire that hits the jackpot.
