SAN DIEGO - s4story -- "Slip Soul", the debut novel by Taylor García, is set to release August 2^nd 2021. "Slip Soul" tells the story of Osvaldo Reyes, a man facing the inhospitable US immigration system.

García blurs borders between short and long prose to amplify the feeling that "Slip Soul" is one of countless true stories from individuals struggling with harsh US immigration policies. Proud of his identity as an American hispano of mestizo descent, García finds it important to understand the US as "once a beautiful tapestry of indigenous people." With this, García says, "it's [the] people decrying immigration whose ancestors were themselves invaders of this land."

García writes "Slip Soul" to show these hypocrisies in US immigration policy with the hopes readers will understand "we are strong because of our diversity."

About the Book

He finds work at a local fish taco shop to buy more time in the US, but doesn't know his co-worker is an ICE agent in disguise.
