 The Alsop Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Gifford refers to various films in both Bordertown and The Sinaloa Story, but, unless I'm mistaken, the only film referred to in both books is Orson Welles' 1958 fl-and-white border town classic, Touch of Evil.
The Sinaloa Story is full of murderous females, including the singer Yolanda del Rio, who, we are told, knifes her father in his heart.
Gifford may not "believe any of it," as he said to me, but both Bordertown and The Sinaloa Story seem to be deeply, if ambivalently Catholic books, "unholy yet sacrosanct." They take place at precisely the point at which religion intersects with sex, death, violence and economics.
