Catalina by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio Chronicling a year in the life of a college student, Catalina is a coming-of-age story that shows what it’s like to be undocumented in the United States. The slim but insightful book uses a stream-of-conscious writing style to portray what life looks like through the eyes of our title character. Witty, smart, vulnerable, and honest, Catalina is a book that delivers on the promise of the author’s first novel. Elise, R.J. Julia Booksellers, Madison

This year in mid-August I decided to tackle the gnarly beast that is procuring your class texts as an English major. I took a few (so many) deep breaths and made my way to the campus bookstore, persevering against the blazing August sun. Foolishly, I hoped at least a few of the books I needed to acquire were rentals, or at the very least, able to be purchased used.

By Justin TorresBrandi’s pick: A breathtakingly beautiful story of brotherhood, heartache and the unbreakable bonds of family, this is one of my favorite books. From the intense familial unity felt by a child to the profound alienation he endures as he begins to see the world, this novel reinvents the coming-of-age story in a way that is sly and punch-in-the-stomach powerful. Torres takes readers on an unforgettable journey they’ll remember long after reading the final page.

Fui indocumentada durante 25 años, y soy hija de inmigrantes que siguen siendo indocumentadosSé muy bien lo que piensan algunos estadounidenses de los inmigrantes: fui indocumentada durante 25 años y soy hija de inmigrantes que siguen siendo indocumentados. También escribí un libro sobre la vida cotidiana de los inmigrantes durante el gobierno de Trump. En ese momento, el gobierno de Trump parecía ser el peor posible para los inmigrantes y sus defensores.
