Rudolfo Anaya's Writing Style

I noted several times throughout the novel where I was extremely impressed with Rudolfo Anaya's writing style.  I've never read "Bless Me, Ultima" before, and I was engrossed at the way he described certain scenes.  One, in particular, was the exorcism scene in chapter 10.  When I went back to read it before writing this post, I noticed that it wasn't overly complicated, but I couldn't stop reading and picturing everything that was happening.  Every death scene was described in just the right amount of detail to where it wasn't grotesque and appalling, but was still difficult to read and caused many surprising emotions.  

I am very interested in reading more of his work, and was even thinking that I might find a way to incorporate the novel into my freshman curriculum.
