Bookslut Reviews Urrea’s North
J
ust another quick highlight on Chicago superstar Luis Urrea: his newest book Into the Beautiful north has a review on Bookslut. Their verdict? The book is a magical adventure. “Urrea simultaneously explicates the seriousness of Mexican-US immigration while drolly narrating a Wizard of Oz-like circular fairy tale.”

He’s also in USA Today, which I read on his twitter feed Urrealism (a good read). He laughs at their placing him in the international author section. The title is technically appropriate, though he only lived a tiny portion of his early life in Mexico before moving to the United States.
