LINTON ROBINSON

      Robinson is a veteran newspaper and magazine writer with credits as varied as Hustler and Harpers. More to the point, he wasted years writing for hip urban weeklies all over the West and Latin America. His WEEKEND WARRIOR column was syndicated from Seattle to San Diego to Denver, copping loads of writing awards as well as reader kudos and threats. His book Mexican Slang 101 is a seminal volume in the field of international understanding and scatology.
      His other column, FLESH WOUNDS, got him dubbed "The Dean of Yuppie Noir", but that's a whole nother book.
