Incredibly written, poetic, but unflinching in its portrayal of the violence of the weaponized USA desert in what is now Arizona. I was not shocked, having read on the topic before, but I was so, so impressed at the humanity that Urrea manages to spread around to all actors in this story. Mandatory reading for the region, and for people who have strong feelings about the Southern US border.
