About this listen
In Spanish. Francisco Jiménez writes of his childhood growing up in an immigrant Mexican family. His narrative is simple, as from a child's point of view, but that same simplicity packs the power of a highly skilled storyteller.
Beautifully and authentically rendered by actor and playwright Adrian Vargas, these twelve stories tell of the almost unendurable journey most migrant campesinos undertake to find the American Dream. The recording concludes with an afterword recorded by the author. Cajas de Cartón is also available in English as The Circuit.

"La frontera...I heard it for the first time back in the late 1940s when Papá and Mamá told me... that someday we would take a long trip, cross la frontera, enter California, and leave our poverty behind." ( Booklist)
