Monographs on Chagoya,
however, have devoted surprisingly little space to his editioned work (exceptions are Patricia Hickson
in Enrique Chagoya: Borderlandia and Shifra Goldman
in Locked
in Paradise).3 Chagoya's 2003 codex The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals (Figs. 9a, 9b) made headlines when it was destroyed by a
religious zealot
in Loveland, Colorado last year, but while Eleanor Heartney and Faye Hirsch wrote analytical pieces placing it
in context, the Loveland event has tended to overshadow critical discussion of Chagoya's art itself.4 A thorough assessment of his printed work is long overdue.
