Para Francisco Cantú, la frontera está en la sangre. Su madre, una guardabosques del Servicio Nacional de Parques, hija de un inmigrante mexicano, lo crió en los matorrales del suroeste.

Atormentado por el paisaje de su juventud, Cantú se alistó a la Patrulla Fronteriza. Él y sus compañeros son enviados a regiones remotas atravesadas por rutas de contrabando de drogas y tráfico de personas, donde aprenden a rastrear a otros humanos bajo el sol abrasador y noches heladas, arrastrando muertos y entregando a los que encuentran vivos. Cantú intenta no pensar en el final de esas historias.

Acosado por pesadillas, Cantú abandona la Patrulla por la vida civil. Pero cuando un amigo inmigrante viaja a México para visitar a su madre y no regresa, Cantú descubre que la frontera migró con el, y esta vez tiene que conocer toda la historia. Intenso e inolvidable, La línea se convierte en río hace que sintamos la violencia de ambos lados de nuestra frontera como algo inmediato y personal.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NAMED A TOP 10 BOOK OF 2018 BY NPR and THE WASHINGTON POST
WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE IN CURRENT INTEREST
FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE NONFICTION AWARD

The instant New York Times bestseller, A must-read for anyone who thinks 'build a wall' is the answer to anything. --Esquire

For Francisco Cantú, the border is in the blood: his mother, a park ranger and daughter of a Mexican immigrant, raised him in the scrublands of the Southwest. Driven to understand the hard realities of the landscape he loves, Cantú joins the Border Patrol. He and his partners learn to track other humans under blistering sun and through frigid nights. They haul in the dead and deliver to detention those they find alive. Plagued by a growing awareness of his complicity in a dehumanizing enterprise, he abandons the Patrol for civilian life. But when an immigrant friend travels to Mexico to visit his dying mother and does not return, Cantú discovers that the border has migrated with him, and now he must know the full extent of the violence it wreaks, on both sides of the line.
