In the coming days, we’ll post discussion questions for “The House of Broken Angels,” an annotated excerpt from the book, and writing advice from Urrea. Urrea’s 2004 nonfiction book, “The Devil’s Highway,” about a group of Mexican immigrants lost in a deadly desert region in Arizona, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. In the New York Times Book Review, novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen calls it an “exuberant love letter to a Mexican-American clan,” quoting one of the book’s characters, Little Angel, as saying that, “if only the dominant culture could see these small moments, they would see their own human lives reflected in the other.” And it’s especially timely as questions are being raised about how immigrant families are being treated in the U.S.

It’s a tender, joyous and intimate novel.

It’s the story of what happens when one Mexican American family living on the border comes together for a party - and a funeral.
