Amigoland is the first novel by American author Oscar Casares and a follow-up to his book of short stories, Brownsville.
Amigoland received a starred review from Publishers Weekly and was later selected by the 2010 Mayor's Book Club in Austin, Texas for that year's citywide reading campaign.
Don Fidencio is a 91-year-old widower, a resident of Amigoland, a Brownsville nursing home, where he's been sent by his daughter and son-in-law.
It's Socorro, seeking a deeper relationship with Celestino, who encourages him to visit his brother after years of estrangement.
As Fidencio and Celestino catch up, Socorro learns that their falling out concerned a story the old men cannot agree on: Was it true that their "Papa Grande" saw his family killed by Indians and was then kidnapped and brought north?
