Selected from the archives of Catapult magazine, the essays in A Map Is Only One Story highlight the human side of immigration policies & polarized rhetoric, as twenty writers share provocative personal stories of existing between languages & cultures.

Victoria Blanco relates how those with family in both El Paso & Ciudad Juárez experience life on the border. Nina Li Coomes recalls the heroines of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki & what they taught her about her bicultural identity. Nur Nasreen Ibrahim details her grandfather’s crossing of the India-Pakistan border sixty years after Partition. Krystal A. Sital writes of how undocumented status in the United States can impact love & relationships. Porochista Khakpour describes the challenges in writing (and rewriting) Iranian America. Through the power of personal narratives, as told by both emerging & established writers, A Map Is Only One Story offers a new definition of home in the twenty-first century.
