Imperial

Imperial | William T Vollmann

3 posts | 1 read

From the author of Europe Central, a journalistic tour de force along the Mexican-American border. For generations of migrant workers, Imperial Country has held the promise of paradise and the reality of hell. It sprawls across a stirring accidental sea, across the deserts, date groves and labor camps of Southeastern California, right across the border into Mexico. In this eye-opening book, William T. Vollmann takes us deep into the heart of this haunted region, exploring polluted rivers and guarded factories and talking with everyone from Mexican migrant workers to border patrolmen. Teeming with patterns, facts, stories, people and hope, this is an epic study of an emblematic region.

I'm not really bailing, I just need to buy this book. It's so long and dense and slow-going for me--and it's so big--that reading a library copy is not practical. Must get a used copy! So really this is on hold til then,

mcipher I have a Goodreads shelf for those - on the back burner. Vollman is definitely dense!! 8y

Time to start a new nonfiction book, since I finished the last a week or two ago. I am on page 3 of over 1100 (1300 with the notes). How many times will I lose this to the library lol?
