This article focuses on using fiction to teach immigration history. Including fiction like Atticus Lish's 2015 novel, "Preparation for the Next Life" can meaningfully enrich a history seminar. A critical analysis of the novel introduces students to theoretical debates that are otherwise inaccessible, and it offers historians and their students the chance to think outside of the discipline.
