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

5.0

If you have already read The Beast: Riding the Rails and Dodging Narcos on the Migrant Trail by Óscar Martínez, or something very similar, then this book will not be raising many new questions for you. It does go more into the lives of those Central America refugees that make it all the way into America's immigration system. This book -- it is really more like an extra long magazine article -- is not important so much for what it talks about but in how it says it. The writing is beautiful. What it says and how it says is beautiful. The fact that its subject is so painful does not distract from that. In its beauty, the reader finds important insight. Go ahead, find a copy, read it, and try to prove me wrong.
