Historic fiction opens minds and raises issues to a broad range of readers. Cuiloni, Story of a Tear explores the Moctezuma-Cortez tale of conquest in a new and unique light. Jose Basulto skillfully blends his linguistic, ethnographic and historical knowledge with his keen abilities as a storyteller, cynic, and humorist in these pages.A fascinating world view encomposing Nahua society, Spanish reactions to and relations with the Mexican Empire emerges amid the backdrop of Catholic, Jewish, new world/old world mores and superstitions. Much is revealed, and there is much to ponder.Indeed, there are disturbing and vivid passages throughout Cuiloni. So much the better. I recall Benjamin Franklin's observations -"Savages we call them, because their manners differ from ours, which we think the perfection of civility; they think the same of theirs. Perhaps if we could examine the manners of different Nations with Impartiaility, we should find no People so rude as to be without any Rules of Politeness; nor any so polite as not to have some remains of Rudeness."Remarks on the Politeness of the Savages of North America, Passy, France, 1783.Readers clear you minds and reflect upon what you are about to encounter.Roy E.
