FINALIST—REPORTING

In the last five years the United States has deported hundreds of thousands undocumented aliens. Even at a time when immigration is the subject of red-hot argument, their fate still has the power to shock. “Purgatory” describes the experience of Kelvin Villanueva, who was sent back to Honduras—where gang-related violence is commonplace—after being stopped near his home in Kansas City for a broken taillight. The Ellie judges described this story as “thoroughly original” and praised Luke Mogelson for his “resourceful and at times dangerous fact-gathering.” Mogelson’s article “The Dream Boat” won the National Magazine Award for Reporting for the New York Times Magazine in 2014. Another of his stories, “The River Martyrs,” was a finalist in Reporting the same year. His first collection of fiction, These Heroic, Happy Dead, was published in April 2016.
