Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)
Odisea del norte
by Mario Bencastro
Through a literary mosaic of conversations, court transcripts, newspaper clippings, and intimate letters, Bencastro's Latino immigrants—who have come from Guatemala, El Salvador, and even further south—tell their stories as they struggle to survive in the restaurant kitchens, bars, courtrooms, crowded tenements, and detention centers that become their proving grounds.
