"Humane yet
often horrifying, Tell Me How It Ends offers a compelling, intimate
look at a continuing crisis—and its ongoing cost in an age of
increasing urgency." —Jeremy Garber, Powell's Books
"Valeria
Luiselli's extended essay on her volunteer work translating for child
immigrants confronts with compassion and honesty the problem of the
North American refugee crisis. It's a rare thing: a book everyone
should read." —Stephen Sparks, Point Reyes Books
"Tell Me How It
Ends evokes empathy as it educates. It is a vital contribution to the
body of post-Trump work being published in early 2017."—Katharine
Solheim, Unabridged Bookstore
"While this
essay is brilliant for exactly what it depicts, it helps open larger
questions, which we're ever more on the precipice of now, of where
all of this will go, how all of this might end. Is this a story, or
is this beyond a story? Valeria Luiselli is one of those brave and
eloquent enough to help us see."—Rick Simonson, Elliott Bay
Book Company
"Appealing to
the language of the United States' fraught immigration policy,
Luiselli exposes the cracks in this foundation. Herself an immigrant,
she highlights the human cost of its brokenness, as well as the hope
that it (rather than walls) might be rebuilt."—Brad Johnson,
Diesel Bookstore
"The
bureaucratic labyrinth of immigration, the dangers of searching for a
better life, all of this and more is contained in this brief and
profound work. Tell Me How It Ends is not just relevant, it's
essential."—Mark Haber, Brazos Bookstore
