Thrilled w/ The Wall Street Journal review of The Wanderers! I love how it captures the book, and esp. this description of my wife, Talia Inlender, and me: "Their connection to each other—and to the plight of migrants today—is palpable throughout this powerful book.” cc @uclacilp.bsky.social
Just over a week until my DC book launch for The Wanderers! I am beyond excited to kick off at Politics and Prose in conversation with @katzish.bsky.social, brilliant editor, writer and close friend. (Also, someone much more skilled than me at bluesky!) DC, come join us, it's going to be fun!!
Closing out 2025 with this incredible review from @publisherswkly.bsky.social "In crisp, unadorned prose, Gerson restores a neglected history...and tenderly chronicles the relationship that brought this history to light. It's a profoundly moving account." publishersweekly.com
Mario Reyes was a great LA photographer and story at a great LA institution. Read the tribute to him @zocalopublicsquare.bsky.social www.zocalopublicsquare.org/mexican-amer...
