Review: Must read as prequel to Lost Children Archives - Was reading Lost Children Archives, a work of fiction by Valeria Luiselli, and heard about this essay the author had written. Discovered this essay was comprised of actual interviews the author had done with children coming to the United States applying for status to stay after fleeing their home country. Her stories of the children cake through a 40 question interview that was done with them prior to be assigned an attorney to represent them in the civil courts. She also included the involvement of the government of Mexico and the US in the deportation of the children dating all the way back to the Bush administration. Having read this book provides a better understanding of her Lost Children Archives which I will now finish reading,

I am fascinated by Laura Luiselli's book. The stark contrast between the children's lives and the system that are deciding whether they should stay or return home to a world of violence and poverty. The last half of the book becomes emotional as the writer focuses on one young person and his struggles to flee from gang violence in his home country and find "sanctuary" in the United States. The last half of the book becomes emotional as the writer focuses on one young person and his struggles to flee from gang violence in his home country and find "sanctuary" in the United States. My only wish is that the story was longer. It is a must read for those interested in social justice or interested in a rising young Mexican writer. Read the book, and I believe you will come to appreciate the writer and her story.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Genesis for Her Outstanding Novel......
*by R***E on September 24, 2020*

The genesis for her stunning novel, "The Lost Children Archive". I believe her first book written in English. A good primer to understand immigration issues, and how the system works (and doesn't). Takes a global view, and reminds us that Ameerica is not so innocent in this matter. Also reminds us that President Obama is not the be-all and end-all that the neo-liberals make him out to be. Coda updates to 2017. The thing is, most of our grandparenst would have answered about 5 questions - and been allowed in. A quick, one evening read - informative, and worth your while even if you're not going to read Luiselli's novel. Personal as well - her own issues with work status and a Green Card in the US.
