Please read the essay about the book. The isn't just bad: it's dangerous, cruel and smug. It's an object lesson in what not to do on so many levels. Also, MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY are promoting this racist shit.

I’m still reading through your piece, but this jumped out at me: -I lacked the fame to pen something so “negative.”- This is suggesting that readers can’t trust non-famous writers...or rather the publications that pressure them. Is that really the reputation publications want?

Yes. Also, name me 10 famous chicana writers. Household names. GATEKEEPERS DON'T LET US BE FAMOUS! So, the logic is low key racist.

So many highlights here but among my faves: “(...) italicized Spanish words like carajo, mijo, and amigo litter the prose, yielding the same effect as store-bought taco seasoning.”

Thank you! If it wasn't for your Twitter account, I wouldn't know that the migrant caravan was expected in the Mexican city of Wahalda!

Yeah, it's an amazing piece. One thing among many that pisses me off is the reviews editor saying "not famous enough"--what the hell? Reviews editors should be hands off on what comes in in terms of the content of the opinion.

I should rename my 2017 short-story collection, The King of Lighting Fixtures, to
#AmericanDirt. Here's my New York Times op-ed about one of the stories in that collection, "The Great Wall" https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/19/opinion/children-separated-from-parents-border-immigrant-dystopia.html …#Latinx#Chicanx#ourstory -
Post this one in the new thread too!
