Dreamland: The Way Out of Juarez

Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, 2010. First edition. Hardcover. Very good/very good. Alice Leora Briggs. SIGNED. 165pp. Quarto [25.5 cm]. Black cloth with gold stamped titles on the spine. With a couple of dings to the top edges of the boards. In the illustrated dust jacket, with rubbing and minor scratching to the panels. Signed by Charles Bowden on the half title page. The terrifying words of Charles Bowden matched with the torturous drawings of Alice Leora Briggs. This book explores the depths of the modern-day living nightmare that is Ciudad Juarez, Mexico; where the line between cops, drug cartels, governments, innocent bystanders, and executioners becomes dangerously blurry.
