On the Border

“A deftly written book… Mr. Miller has drawn a lively sketch of this unruly, unpredictable place.

—The New York Times Book Review

“Absorbing… well-reported and brightly written.”

—The New York Review of Books

“Intelligent and highly readable… a rewarding book… Miller’s eye is excellent, and he likes to listen.”

—Larry McMurtry (The Washington Star)

“More eye-opening than a shot of tequila, more breathtaking than a jigger of salsa, this book is a literary donkey show… We say ¡olé!”

—Phoenix New Times

“Witty, objective, and thoughtful at the same time…”

—New Mexico Magazine

“…On the Border is required reading. Tom Miller is a southwestern John McPhee.”

—Swank

“A New Yorkerish study… It is rare that an essay can be as informative as this and still be wonderfully entertaining.”

—Newsday

“Cuts a diamond-sharp portrait of life on our southwestern frontier… unforgettable to every reader lucky enough to discover this gem of southwestern Americana.”

—San Diego Union

“Most of Miller’s stories are full of the sunlight of the border country, positive stories from curious places that most of us do not—in some cases, dare not—go. His is a new and reassuring look at a land which most of America looks upon as a problem.”

—Houston Post

“Miller will make you turn around and realize this thin strip of land is a different world and make you realize it is exciting to live here.”

—El Paso Times

“Delightful and insightful… A fascinating and gripping account of culture, violence, racism, smuggling, music, folklore, history, and tall tales.”

—The Phoenix Gazette

“On the Border has all the tension of first-rate historical fiction, of non-fiction at its best. It deserves to be read and once read can’t be ignored… Miller is just the kind of author-ambassador the border so urgently needs, and On the Border is a trip very much worth taking.”

—Kansas City Times
