Both Sides: Stories From the Border by Gabino Iglesias

3.0

Thank you Polis Books for this copy of Both Sides edited by Gabino Iglesias.

Both Sides is a collection of short stories from both sides of the Mexico/US border. There are Mexican and American writers, English and Spanish writing a lot of different types of fiction and stories. Like most short story collections, there are some stories I loved and others that just were not working for me. I think this collection is a great example of some of the different viewpoints and more representative of what some of the border issues really are then some other things I have read. I really appreciated the depth and breadth of some of the stories and would highly recommend this collection to anyone trying to read more about the culture around the area. from both sides.
