Sonia Nazario, Author
Enrique’s Journey
The Odyssey, an epic poem about a hero’s journey home
from war, ends with reunion and peace. The Grapes of
Wrath, the classic novel about the Dust Bowl and the
migration of Oklahoma farmers to California, ends with
death and a glimmer of renewed life. Enrique’s journey is
not fiction, and its conclusion is more complex and less
dramatic. But it ends with a twist worthy of O’Henry.
