What is "amigoland"

Amigoland is the first novel by American author Oscar Casares and a follow-up to his book of short stories, Brownsville. It was published in 2009. The plot centers on two estranged elderly brothers who reunite after many years to break the elder brother, Don Fidencio, out of his nursing home in Brownsville, Texas and head to Mexico on a quest to solve the mystery of how their family came to America.

Amigoland received a "starred review" from Publishers Weekly and was later selected by the 2010 Mayor's Book Club in Austin, Texas for that year's citywide reading campaign.
