For Love of the Dollar: A Memoir
Autor J.M Servin Traducere de Anthony Seidmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 feb 2017
This debut memoir by Mexico's foremost gonzo journalist recounts his life as an illegal immigrant in the Bronx, where he works in kitchens and at gas stations as he dreams of becoming a successful writer. For the Love of the Dollar presents a present-day picture of the America inhabited by immigrants, seen in all its triumphs and defeats, excitement and disappointment, with J.M. Servín's signature dark humor and knack for unveiling the surface of things to lay bare the American dream.
