| "This book was the inspiration for the PBS series. From Amazon: Krantz brings the victims back to life; showing her readers that they are not just eleven statistics in the immigration debate, but eleven people who were seeking something better for themselves and their families. Train to Nowhere is a moving piece of investigative literature that conveys the human side of this tragic case." --John F. Quinn, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Director | |

| "Fred Arroyo's impeccably crafted collection of short fiction, Western Avenue and Other Fictions, brings to life a set of characters locked into the dead-end squirrel cage of immigrant workers. Some of these characters will be familiar to readers of Arroyo's brilliant debut novel, The Region of Lost Names, also published by the University of Arizona Press. This is not one of the trendy novels-in-stories, which so frequently dot the current literary landscape, but the collection does form a narrative, circling back through time and the perspectives of different characters within the narrative." --Linda L. Rodriguez |
