The Borderlands’ Lost Third Country Mexican writer Álvaro Enrigue’s new novel, Now I Surrender, is an epic about the U.S. and Mexico’s joint erasure of Apachería.

He visited Changing Hands as a kid. Now, he's coming back as an author to read from his latest work. Logan Phillips' book, 'Reckon,' tackles growing up in southern Arizona, his own family history, and contending with the stories told about the Wild West.

I’ll be at @changinghands.bsky.social in #Tempe tomorrow Wednesday 2/25 7pm reading from ‘Reckon’ and discussing how cowboy myths haunt us in ways that are more relevant than ever. Phoenix area, don’t miss!

When he gave the Grammy to that young boy who made everyone think of Liam…even if that wasn’t actually Liam, it was just the perfect way of cutting through all the bullshit.
