This article focuses on two books "Bless Me, Ultima," by Rudolfo Anaya, and "In Search of Snow," by Luis Alberto Urrea, with specific reference to Chicano literature. After twenty-two years as the most important and influential Chicano novel ever written, although available only from a small press, Anaya's "Bless Me, Ultima," has been reprinted in hardcover and mass-market editions by Warner Books. "In Search of Snow" is an ideal novel for the nineties because Urrea does not have to restrict himself to "Chicano" themes, or even characters. Both novels revolve around male characters and how they come of age.
