For a compelling primer on the political, cultural, and imaginative realities of the border between the U.S. and Mexico, read Luis Alberto Urrea. In richly detailed poetry, novels, short stories, and non-fiction, including The Devil’s Highway, Into the Beautiful North, and The Water Museum, Urrea has brought to life the landscape and people of the American and Mexican West, a world lined with borders physical and metaphorical, where, he says, “everybody is in transition.” Join him for a conversation about the current state of Mexico-U.S. relations.
