The Diary of the Beans

In the Big Bend country of the Rio Grande, a series of misadventures brings entomologist Gene Hart to spend a night listening to and writing down stories told to him by the Cactus Man who recalls past events stored in patterns on his collection of pinto beans. The tales include his long dead twin brother and their love for, and adventures with, Consuelo Alvarez as she seeks to save the souls of murderous bandits. Original.
