Strange Pilgrims (English, Paperback)

Strange Pilgrims showcase horror and beauty delicately woven to create a rich tapestry of emotion. Themes of displacement and exile run commonly throughout the stories which portray the lives of Latin Americans in Europe. The twelve stories have the common themes of dislocation and survival of identity in a foreign land. Bon Voyage, Mr. President, is the first story telling the tale of Mr. President, an overthrown ruler who heads to Geneva to find a cure for his medical problems. His experience in the foreign country and the unexpected bond he develops with a fellow countryman is the crux of the story.
