A Remezcla Best Book by Latine or Latin American Authors of the Year
“A beautiful read.” —Ari Shapiro, “All Things Considered,” NPR
“Lyrical . . . Part travelogue, part traditional memoir . . . The story of the striving, first-generation kid made good is a familiar one; Álvarez makes his ache.” —The New York Times Book Review
“[Álvarez] meditates on identity and home, but he also complicates the traditional quest narrative readers might be expecting: His willingness to write honestly about loneliness and doubt, and to acknowledge that a run—no matter how meaningful—cannot eradicate those emotions entirely, is welcome.” —Amanda Parrish Morgan, The Atlantic
“More than another tale of blistered feet and dehydration. It’s about the immigrant experience, about the indigenous experience—and finding one’s place as a witness when you’re neither.” —Salon
“If ever a book deserved a broader readership in the UK, it is this gripping memoir . . . propulsive and deeply moving.” —Jini Reddy, Resurgence & Ecologist Magazine
“A spellbinding narrative of his coming to terms with his place in America today . . . This literary tour de force beautifully combines outdoor adventure with a sharp take on immigration.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“This book is not like any other out there . . . A beautiful run.” —Luís Alberto Urrea, author of The Devil’s Highway
