520 1 |a "Zone of Tolerance is about the "big girls" of the 1970s Guaymas night club district and the conflicting needs, wants, realities, and illusions at the core of the viejas' ("working" girls') lives." "Stuart focuses on the exotic fallen angels of the once fabled Club Rio Rita in Guaymas's Zona de Tolerancia (red-light district); the layered dimensions of their world are mesmerizing. He also continues the stories of his working class friends and compadres in Guaymas, some closer to him than his stateside family. Their struggles with life on the streets provide an uplifting counterpoint to daily life in the Zona." "Zone of Tolerance is important, not only for its human and historical context, but precisely because it is a snapshot of a long-gone, little-known slice of Mexican life."--BOOK JACKET.
