Reviews
"A must-read for anyone who thinks "build a wall" is the answer to anything." --Esquire "Fresh, urgent...A devastating narrative of the very real human effects of depersonalized policy." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred) "Cant's rich prose and deep empathy make this an indispensable look at one of America's most divisive issues." -- Publisher's Weekly (starred) "There is a line dividing what we know and do not know. Some see the world from one shore and some from the other. Cant brings the two together to a spiritual whole. My gratitude for this work of the soul." -- Sandra Cisneros "A beautiful, fiercely honest, and nevertheless deeply empathetic look at those who police the border and the migrants who risk - and lose -- their lives crossing it. In a time of often ill-informed or downright deceitful political rhetoric, this book is an invaluable corrective." -- Phil Klay, author of Redeployment "Francisco Cantu's story is a lyrical journey that helps bridge the jagged line that divides us from them. His empathy reminds us of our humanity -- our immigrant history -- at a critical time." -- Alfredo Corchado, journalist, author of Midnight in Mexico "Cant's story, and intelligent and humane perspective, should mortify anyone who ever thought building a wall might improve our lot. He advocates for clarity and compassion in place of xenophobia and uninformed rhetoric. His words are emotionally true and his literary sensibility uplifting." - Barry Lopez, author of Arctic Dreams and Of Wolves and Men "This book tells the hard poetry of the desert heart. If you think you know about immigration and the border, you will see there is much to learn. And you will be moved by its unexpected music." - Luis Alberto Urrea, author of The Devil's Highway, "Cant's story, and intelligent and humane perspective, should mortify anyone who ever thought building a wall might improve our lot.

Read enough op-eds and takes and tweets about the border, and you can start to forget that it's a real place....Francisco Cant has written an insistently humane book, or maybe just a human one....It's an exploration of how the border feels, and what happens to the people who get caught in its gears. He got that close look he hoped for, and he has found a way to tell us about it." - Bookforum "In The Line Becomes a River , a portrait of both sides of the law, Cant interrogates one of the thorniest subjects in contemporary America and finds his mother's warning to be true: "We learn violence by watching others, by seeing it enshrined in institutions."" --The Week "Beautiful and brutal."-- High Country News "Fresh, urgent...A devastating narrative of the very real human effects of depersonalized policy." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred) "Cant's rich prose and deep empathy make this an indispensable look at one of America's most divisive issues." -- Publisher's Weekly (starred) "A personal, unguarded look at border life from the perspective of a migrant and agent, recommended for those wishing to gain a deeper understanding of current events." -- Library Journal "There is a line dividing what we know and do not know.
