Going to America is not a rebirth. Mexico is not barren, and neither are the people fleeing it. Migration in this book is a boat-ride to the underworld. I like these books that are short and more poem than novel, and I liked this one especially, even when it got a bit too on-the-nose. There was plenty of subtle and sharp to make up for it.
