Atomito is the mascot of the Bolivian nuclear energy programme. In Colanzi's short story, Atomito assumes an apocalyptic guise for the poor residents of El Alto, living next to a nuclear power plant.

Bookwomble Hmm, I added Blowin' in the Wind as I've always thought it a song about nuclear fallout being spread around the globe and how we're all connected and affected by war, but now I've checked the Wikipedia article for the song, it doesn't mention this as a theme. I guess Nobel Prize winners write lyrics that can be interpreted on many levels 🤔 1d
TheBookgeekFrau Omg! Fischer Z!!! You just zoomed me back to 1984 when I met my husband 😂 He had a tape of Fischer Z that we played til it wore out. It's been forever since I heard that name 19h
Bookwomble @TheBookgeekFrau My sister introduced me them in 1980 when they released Going Deaf for a Living. We disagreed about the pronunciation of the band's name, she insisted it was an Americanised "fisher zee", I insisting on the British "fisher zed". I was right! ?? It's actually a pun on "fish's head"! I love the Red Skies Over Paradise album, and I'm glad it gave you a happy memory ? 12h
TheBookgeekFrau @Bookwomble Thank you for both the memory AND the correct pronunciation of their name! 😁 10h
