100 MUST-READ BOOKS ABOUT THE SOUTHWEST - Page 2

I thought The Southwest was much bigger than it actually is, until Wikipedia told me otherwise. Turns out, The Southwest region consists of Arizona and its surrounding areas, but no other complete states: the southeasternmost part of California's Inland Empire up into the bottom of Nevada; the lower areas of Colorado and Utah in the Four Corners region; the Western half of New Mexico, and a tiny corner of West Texas.
But there is still a huge literary tradition in the Southwest region of the United States, and here are the books you should read either about or taking place there.
