Reviews:

"This is a able-bodied written, experience-near ethnography of marginality in every faculty of the word: Douglas is actually on the margins amid the USA and Mexico, it is geographically marginal, economically bordering and culturally bordering in the US context. Wilm weaves a acceptable and acute account of the precarious, adventuresome and generally abstruse lives led by humans in Douglas."

- Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Professor of Social Anthropology (Oslo/Amsterdam)

"In band with the attitude of aberrate column alum animal studies that gave us the apprehensible works of Carlos Castaneda, Mr. Wilm gives us an insightful, sometimes alarming but consistently entertaining, attending at a baby bend of the superpower hardly visited and abundantly ignored.

At aboriginal an alien in a spiritually and economically bankrupt boondocks in the affliction of a above character crisis, he bound finds himself allotment of the affected scenery. Wilm 'cruises for chicks' at the bounded library, is rendered cold by boyish play base addiction, and all-overs into the agitated affray of the bounce 2004 attack division registering actionable immigrants to vote.

His called setting, Douglas, Arizona, with its citizenry of 14,000 'including the inmates at the accompaniment penitentiary', boasts a casting of characters aces of a Tennessee Williams' play or at atomic a bisected hour on Jerry Springer. And admitting a abhorrence for guns, angry ultra-nationalism, and amusing injustice, Mr. Wilm forms an absurd adapter to the abode and its people. A must-read for austere anthropologists or the Americo-curious."
