A potent and nuanced piece that explores the complex and fractured relationship between two brothers. Zimmerman captures perfectly the compromises, betrayals, and catch-22's that come with trying to carve a place in white, hegemonic systems of power as a non-white person. I loved how the narrative was compelling in and of itself, while also serving as a larger figurative examination of divides in the Latino community based on class, colorism, family, and worldview. There are so many striking sensory and visual images, not the least of which is the final jarring tableau.

A heart breaking and incredibly powerful story of the grief that comes when brothers are torn apart from hard choices about justice. What choices are the right ones? What decisions are reversible? So much becomes unleashed that they will never be the same. Well done.
