Come Together, Fall Apart
Come Together, Fall Apart | Cristina Henríquez
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
These eight short stories and novella travel from Panama's dusty city streets to its humid beaches to create an affecting portrait of a country in transition. They illustrate family bonds and generational conflicts, youthful infatuation and genuine passion. Tender, ambitious, bold, and unflinching, they herald the arrival of a fresh, exciting, and lavishly talented new voice in American literature.

#readingaroundtheworld #panama A rather intimate and allegorical collection of short stories and one novella sharing insights into father/daughter and mother/daughter relationships. Panama gives the stories some background. I also read Tailor of Panama which was more a tongue in cheek drawing of John Le Carré‘s British secret service than Panama although it did give me insights into Noriega and the subsequent political environment of Panama.
