Rolando Hinojosa - The Novels
Welcome to Belken County! The novels of Rolando Hinojosa have made this county in South Texas their home, and they have peopled it with roughly one thousand more or less fictional characters. These characters (and others they have met or talk about) often appear in more than one novel, and our knowledge of them grows, if we remember them from earlier or later appearances.
In what follows I have tried to compile a complete census of all characters in the novels, whether fictional or not. In case of changing or multiple names, I have added cross-references. As land-holding patterns and kinship networks are very important in Belken County, you will find some families included as a group.
I have tried to be as accurate as possible, and page references are to the editions listed below. If you discover any omissions or mistakes, please write to me, and I will include any amendments into future editions of this census.
