Want to put a face to the immigration discussion? Meet Marlon Cruz. He’s willing to throw it all away (not that there’s much for someone without connections in Columbia), to follow his girlfriend, Reina, to New York City, where they don’t know anybody and they don’t speak the language. Really, what could go wrong? Jorge Franco’s language is spare and gritty, eschewing the magical realism favored by some other Latin American writers. (Fic Franco Ramos) Located on the second floor in the adult fiction collection.
Written by Jorge Franco Ramos, 2006.
