DESCRIPTION:Author Marc Zimmerman reads from his new book Sandino on the Border which 
 centers on Ben’s relation to Helena, a Nicaraguan woman who searches for 
 personal and professional growth in the context of the Central American 
 struggle during the Cold War on the U.S.-Mexican border and beyond—all in 
 the shadow of Nicaraguan national hero, César Augusto Sandino. The story 
 also involves Helena’s uncle, who coordinates Sandinista-related border 
 crossings; her mother, who smuggles clothes from San Diego to Mexico City; 
 her aunt who fails to keep her son’s family from falling apart in L.A.; a 
 grandmother smuggled across the border and expressing wonder at the 
 MacDonaldized world she beholds.\n\nWritten with humor, irony and a feel 
 for border pain and pathos, Sandino on the Border anticipates key border 
 themes developing long before the current age of deportations and the talk 
 of building a wall. This book is a sequel to Lines on the Border.\n\nMarc 
 Zimmerman is an author of Latino Literature and recent works of 
 Mexican/Latino themed fiction, Professor Emeritus of Latin American and 
 Latino Studies at the University of Illinois Chicago and of World Cultures 
 and Literatures at the University of Houston.\n
