Servín's in the tradition of writers who have lived their lives to the limit. El Anaquel Servín offers us an intense and lonely ramble through the `American Dream, the memoir of a man who crosses the border with the stubborn notion of getting a job as an undocumented worker to fill his pockets with greenbacks For Love of the Dollar forces us to ponder the difficulties of living as an immigrant and at the same time realize how enriching and daring the experience can be. Robotania "For Love of the Dollar is a strong and compelling portrait of one persons experience and perhaps thats exactly what the country needs right now, an honest, human account of an immigrants attempt to reach for the American Dream." Rachel Léon, Chicago Review of Books His narrative exposes the absent voices that belong to characters from a timeless Mexico. His autobiographical stories take the reader to rugged, ruthless, and decadent places. Servín weaves journalism and literature together by being a witness to his own life Letrarte "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
