All across America, the overgrown kids of the middle class are getting their acts together―and getting older. The once-tight Chicano community of Chamisaville is long gone, and the Anglo power brokers control almost everything. Joe Miniver―faithful husband, loving father, and all-around good guy―is about to sink roots. To buy the land he wants, he dreams up a coke scam that will net him the necessary bread. Joe is also about to embark on a series of erotic adventures with three headstrong women, bringing him face-to-face with the terrors (and absurdity) of the modern man-woman scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Nirvana Blues\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis part of John Nichols's New Mexico trilogy, which includes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Milagro Beanfield War\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Magic Journey\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Desierto Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56460112724134,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/3465\/5654\/files\/nirvana.webp?v=1778534091","url":"https:\/\/249f2c-1b.myshopify.com\/products\/the-nirvana-blues-by-john-nichols","provider":"DESIERTO BOOKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
