One of my favorite authors, of both fiction and non-fiction, is Luis Albert Urrea. Recently he joined the writing staff of Orion, a periodical connecting us with the world around us. This short column is true to the Urrea form: vivid, light, but with an arrow pointing at each of us. In the style of Native American writer Sherman Alexie,  Urrea sometimes mirrors himself and each of us in the Trickster Way; through humor, satire, and a good dose of realism.
