Just finished 'A Manual for Cleaning Women' by Lucia Berlin (NY Times Top 10 list, 2015), a collection of fictional short stories. Berlin passed in 2004 and these stories were previously unpublished and released by her heirs.
One story is titled "Toda Luna, Todo Año" and is set in Zihuatanejo. Berlin lived in Mexico City on 1 or more occasions in the 60's and 70's and must have visited Zihua. There are accurate geographical descriptions combined with some creative licence but I'm no expert. Anyone else read it who is familiar with Zihua?
