Her essay-book 'Salvador' (1983) was one of the first books I read about Central America and the USA. A blistering read.

Never got into her fiction that much, but I've read all of her essays and non-fiction book-length works. One of the more unique voices speaking on the skewed American Way of Life, she had a perspective that a number of others have tried to imitate but never duplicated. She'll be missed.
