Illegally Yours by Rafael Agustin
“Agustin offers poignant musings on the difficulties of existing in a country where the notion of race ‘is mostly understood as a Black and white paradigm.’ What emerges is an inspiring and often hilarious story that echoes Agustin’s mother’s refrain: ‘Dreams should not have borders.’ Funny as he is, Agustin is a serious talent.” —Publishers Weekly
