Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay In Forty Questions by Valeria Luiselli

5.0

More of a long essay at just over 100 pages, this little book packs a punch. Luiselli writes about her experience working as a translator for unaccompanied children at the border as they filled out the initial intake survey about who they are and why they've entered the United States. In addition to sharing snatches of some heartbreaking stories, the book is also a pretty good primer on gang violence in Central America, how the United States is involved in it (because of course we are!), the dangers of the journey from Central America to the United States, and what the process looks like for these children. When people start griping at me about the border, I'm going to start handing them this book and telling them to get back to me after they've read it.
