Just finished "American Dirt" by Jeanine Cummins. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Woah. It is pure brilliance from beginning to end, but also completely relevant in this cruel, and totally messed up situation we find ourselves living with.

Just finished this.
Such a harrowing read. Loved it.
Ann Patchett already captured it so well - "I couldn't put it down. I'll never stop thinking about it."

Just finished this. Describing a thrilling and suspenseful attempt to escape a murderous Mexican cartel, this exciting novel is pretty near perfect. Strongly recommended. #AmericanDirt
Imagine voting for someone who’s going to round you up & deport you for being Mexican even if born in the USA. The orange tsunami is beginning. #americandirt
Mostly our postie brings bills, but sometimes he delivers treasure!
And lucky, lucky me because today he brought me #SpeakToMeOfHome, #JeanineCummins follow-up to #AmericanDirt, in which 3 generations of women confront the secrets threatening their family. Can’t wait to join them on their journey!
I just finished this book and loved it!

thrilled and so happy that #whitedancingelephants is being bought most commonly on @amazon along with Alejandro Zambra's brilliant #multiplechoice. Please read this Latin American author instead of #AmericanDirt. Thank...
@Center4Fiction @PghArtsLectures @CuyahogaLib @LiteratiBkstore @92Y @LemuriaBooks @WBURCitySpace @ThirdPlaceBooks @Powells @JCCSF @MontclairLitFes, if you've thought twice about #AmericanDirt, think twice about this #OwnVoices replacement as well, please! http://colummccann.com/tour/

Me reading Sandra Cisneros comments about #AmericanDirt
Me finding out that #AmericanDirt exists because of all of the shade being thrown at it on my twitter newsfeed
For the big-money book publicity machine to wield its influence on behalf of a novel about the Mexican immigrant experience written by a non-immigrant, non-Mexican author—when books by Mexican and Mexican American writers often struggle to see daylight—SLATE reviews #americandirt
I had this horrible thought: that b/c we're a country where 45 is president, unmasking all sorts of sentiments, those of us actually revealing our pain/ disappointment at the #americandirt story are actually helping SELL the bk...it's POC's pain that's the point. Not the bk.
Maybe this is why Sandra Cisneros and Julia Alvarez spoke supportively re #americandirt. they've persevered thrumore closed times (even more closed, than now!) when getting published *at all* as WOC felt impossible...and bks like this could create hunger for #OwnVoices. I hope.
and John Grishman blurbed #americandirt. But also wrote an incredible bk about intersectional racism and structural oppression in #atimetokill. We want a complex solidarity where ppl are encouraged to open doors, if they have clout with gatekeepers. Yes, we want this.
caught up in the #americandirt debate? Check out this review of Mary Gaitskill I wrote for @mqr_tweets on race, WOC, representation, #MeToo and "the exotic" - I was scared to publish this, which told me I was onto something. :) cc: @lillydancyger...
