“Héctor Tobar’s standalone novels span over two decades, from The Tattooed Soldier in 1998 to The Last Great Road Bum in 2020. His fiction often draws on his background as a journalist and his interest in the stories of people caught between cultures and countries.”
“The Barbarian Nurseries (2011) is set in suburban Los Angeles and deals with the intersections of class, race, and domestic life. The Last Great Road Bum (2020) is based on a real person’s life and follows an American adventurer across decades of travel and political upheaval.”
