The late Pulitzer Prizewinning writer Alex Tizon told the epic stories of marginalized people-from lonely immigrants struggling to forge a new American identity to a high school custodian who penned a New Yorker short story. Edited by Tizons friend and former colleague Sam Howe Verhovek, Invisible People collects the best of Tizons rich, empathetic accounts-including My Familys Slave, the Atlantic magazine cover story about the woman who raised him and his siblings under conditions that amounted to indentured servitude.\n\nMining his Filipino American background, Tizon tells the stories of immigrants.
