Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With stolen cash and tickets booked through a shady travel agency, Marlon Cruz and his girlfriend, Reina, have smuggled themselves out of Colombia and into the United States. But on their first night in New York City, they lose each other, and Marlon finds himself cast into the city's immigrant underworld, alone. As he searches for Reina in the bars and boarding houses where illegals congregate, the story of their harrowing cross over the border is retold, mapping the arc of a relationship that has transformed him into a reluctant immigrant.

Synopsis:

From one of Colombia's leading novelists comes a tragicomic story of unrequited love and a view of New York through the wide eyes of an illegal immigrant who moves between the worlds of lower-middle-class Colombia and immigrant Jackson Heights.
