520    Luis Alberto Urrea's first book, Across the Wire: Life and
       Hard Times on the Mexican Border, was a haunting and 
       unprecedented look at what life is like for those living 
       on the Mexican side of the border, eking out only the 
       barest of lives not far from the white sands and coral 
       reefs of Southern California. His poignant, widely 
       acclaimed account of the struggle of these people to 
       survive amid the abject poverty, unsanitary living 
       conditions, and legal and political chaos that reign in 
       the Mexican borderlands vividly illustrated why so many 
       are forced to make the treacherous and illegal journey 
       "across the wire" into the United States. Written with the
       same unflagging curiosity, compassion, mordant wit, and 
       novelistic sense of detail that made Across the Wire "a 
       work of investigative reporting that is also a bittersweet
       song of human anguish" (Los Angeles Times), By the Lake of
       Sleeping Children explores the post-NAFTA and Proposition 
       187 border purgatory of garbage pickers and dump dwellers,
       gawking tourists and relief workers, fearsome coyotes and 
       their desperate clientele. In sixteen indelible portraits,
       Urrea illuminates the horrors and the simple joys of 
       people trapped between the two worlds of Mexico and the 
       United States - and ignored by both. The result is a 
       startling and memorable work of first-person reportage.
