"We are living in an American cave of superficiality, and we’ve forgotten
so much of what is invisible that
works and that matters. Trump is the
perfect superficial leader in our American cave, in love with himself
most of all, trumpeting his gaudy and false 'successes,' and
self-proclaiming his godlike “retrospective decision-making,” which is
just as good in our cave as having to make decisions in real time, like a
real leader must."

What a great El Paso Matters Book Club meeting! We has 70-plus in attendance, according to the library staff, and I signed dozens of books and answered great questions about NOBODY’S PILGRIMS! Thank you, El Paso Matters, Literarity Book Shop, the staff at the Sergio Troncoso Branch Library in El Paso, Texas. I love the interactions we had and the stories we shared with each other.
Book review of NOBODY'S PILGRIMS in El Paso Matters, by Bob Dunton:
“The first time I finished Sergio Troncoso’s “Nobody’s Pilgrims,” I realized that I was absent-mindedly petting the cover. His characters had somehow taken up residence in my heart. It was love at first sight.
“And Sergio Troncoso is such a beloved writer of the borderlands, there is a public library branch named for him in El Paso. His 'A Peculiar Kind of Immigrant’s Son' is simply brilliant.”
Thank you, Luis Alberto Urrea!
