 "You know you've entered a Wonderland when someone says, 'There's something bad and weird in the air', and when the landscape has more character than the characters who inhabit it."
From Wonderlands: Essays on the Life of Literature, Charles Baxter  "When a landscape becomes sentient, there is nowhere to hide."
From Wonderlands: Essays on the Life of Literature, Charles Baxter  "The interiors are haunted by something."
From Wonderlands: Essays on the Life of Literature, Charles Baxter  "Nogales was on the opposite side of Mexico, on the border with Arizona. Nogales and Tapachula were, for my family, both the same town. They were towns next to countries, but inside countries as well."
From Capirotada: A Nogales Memoir, Alberto Álvaro Ríos  "Every building, every interior space, seems to be haunted by some cryptic intention. Things are out of proportion. Every location you enter is soaked in a particular kind of subjectivity."
