Hitting shelves and online retailers this week, Michael Cirlos' 161-page book offers brief, easily digested encounters with emo kids, costumed crusaders, a lesbian activist, taco enthusiasts, Spurs fanatics, an ex-gangster, a crying River Walk waitress, lovers and drifters – collectively known as Humans of San Antonio. Taken all at once, his Humans of San Antonio mesh to build a downtown portrait that’s funny, strange, sad and hopeful all at once.
With backing from Trinity University Press, Cirlos' book is available here.
