This debut memoir by Mexico's foremost gonzo journalist recounts his life as an illegal immigrant in the Bronx, where he works in kitchens and at gas stations as he dreams of becoming a successful writer. For the Love of the Dollar presents a present-day picture of the America inhabited by immigrants, seen in all its triumphs and defeats, excitement and disappointment, with J.M. Servin's signature dark humor and knack for unveiling the surface of things to lay bare the American dream.
"As a poster boy for the Downtrodden, Servín just won't do. He shows too much spunk for that. At times, the recollections in For Love of the Dollar feel no less than rollicking. Servín caroms around greater New York, carrying false papers but nonetheless a familiar figure: a young man sowing his wild oats... For Love of the Dollar shatters stereotypes of Mexican illegals." —John Domini, The Star Tribune
