Rudolfo A. Anaya [1937-2020] Page
at Spirit of America Bookstore

"Bless Me, Ultima" [1972] by Rudolfo Anaya
received People's Choice Award at the 2007 New Mexico Book Awards
listed #1 on the 100 Best Books In New Mexico [Jan 2011]
selected by the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read Program
won the Premio Quinto Sol national Chicano literary award

This novel of a young boy in New Mexico in the 1940s has sold more than 300,000 copies in paper-back since its 1972 debut; attempts to ban the books
from classrooms have been unsuccessful – so far; the book deserves a place in all fiction collections, especially those serving Xicano populations.

Bless Me, Ultima novel by Rudolfo Anaya  Ultima, an elderly curandera (one who cures with herbs and magic), comes to Antonio Marez's
New Mexico family when he is six years old, and she helps him discover himself in the magical
secrets of the pagan past.
