A member of the Latino Literary Hall of Fame, Luis Albert Urrea draws upon his Mexican American cultural heritage to craft powerful and clever books that explore the greater themes of love, loss, and triumph. The Devil's Highway, his non-fiction account of a group of Mexican immigrants lost in the Arizona desert, won the Lannan Literary Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Urrea's other books, including The Hummingbird's Daughter and Into the Beautiful North, have also earned him extensive critical praise. Queen of America is a riotously funny sequel to Hummingbird’s Daughter and a story of faith and modernity in turn-of-the-century industrial America.
