Finalista per l'Orwell Prize for Political Writing 2019, un'elettrizzante biografia di una guardia della US Border Patrol di origine messicana-americana 'Straordinariamente bella. La cosa migliore che abbia letto da anni' James Rebanks, autore di The Shepherd's Life Francisco Cantú è stato un agente della US Border Patrol dal 2008 al 2012. In questo straordinario resoconto, descrive il suo lavoro nel deserto lungo il confine messicano. Insegue gli umani attraverso giornate torride e notti gelide. Trattiene gli esausti e trasporta i morti. La linea che ha giurato di difendere, tuttavia, inizia a dissolversi. Perseguitato dagli incubi, Cantú abbandona la Pattuglia per la vita civile, ma presto si trova ad affrontare un confronto finale con il mondo da cui credeva di essere fuggito. 'Un'autobiografia cruda e avvincente. Un rimprovero eloquente a tutti coloro che cercano di costruire muri piuttosto che ponti tra le persone' Sunday Times 'Una lettura obbligata. Una storia personale avvincente che tiene incollati fino all'ultima pagina e strazia molto dopo' GQ 'Notevole. Lirico e commovente' Guardian.
