Urrea intends to create more emotions within the reader and to help them fully connect with the tone throughout the book.

    Standing alone in a case in the middle of an upper level gallery room, one will find a humbly sized diptych, which vibrantly grabs the attention of anyone who passes it. To a knowing viewer, it becomes almost immediately evident that this is the work of none other than Jan van Eyck himself. This piece juxtaposes two biblical scenes commonly depicted by Renaissance artists, but with a Netherlandish attention to detail, as well as other formal elements endemic to van Eyck’s style. These components include an emphasis on highly saturated colors, a strong use of spatial elements, and highly realistic physical renderings of the subjects depicted.…

The story follows the deadly journey of a group of undocumented male immigrants who in 2001 attempted to cross the Mexican border into the desert of southern Arizona through a desolate area known as the Devil’s Highway. Urrea provides the reader with not only a compelling story but also a complex historical compilation of information on the Mexico-United States border conflict in terms of culture, geography, power dynamics, and immigration policy. The novel is organized into four major sections, with each divided further into separate chapters. Part one provides…

    Antonio’s first reaction to death was negative, as he can be seen running away from the murder scene of Lupito, or fleeing from the places where others had died. Antonio was understandably disturbed by the deaths he had witnessed. Death is a traumatic event, especially when it is witnessed up close, and in as gruesome of a way as Antonio did many times in his young life. After his first encounter with it, Antonio had a dream in which he understands that he is “growing old” (26). This self-realization was essential in Antonio becoming a man.…
