At times, immigration policies are so ludicrous that only fiction can tell a credible story of whatâs happening.
In Luiselliâs novel, modern asylum policies in the United States get the storytelling they deserve through the lens of one New York family struggling with the ordinary challenges of life only to learn, bit by bit, just how close their lives are to the migrants attempting to navigate the extraordinary demands of immigration policies along the US-Mexican border.
From CĂ©sar's list on turning immigration policies into human stories.
The Lost Children takes us back to the early years of boy momness. This book is the most unique parenting novel Iâve ever read: a mother and father and two kids drive into the border crisis and make meaning of the words family and love and missing. The writing feels part diary, part indictment, and part love-letter for the son that the mother is sure sheâs already in the act of losing.
From Susan's list on boy moms and their connection to teenage boys.
