The Short Sweet Dream of Eduardo Gutierrez is a towering achievement by one of America's most respected journalists. A work of conscience that travels from San Matias Cuatchatyotla, a small, dusty town in central Mexico, to the cold and wet streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, this searing expose chronicles the life and tragic death of an undocumented worker, along with broader issues of municipal corruption and America's deadly and controversial border policy.From the Trade Paperback edition.
