Описание: These early stories by the award-winning novelist, David Allan Cates, take place in Mexico and Central America during the war years of the 1980s. The protagonists are exiled lovers-broken for the most part and trying to make sense of their new world of grief. Far from home and working in a boatyard, on a movie set, a banana freighter, as a veal salesman, medical interpreter, writer, and Sandinista volunteer, they`re forced to re-imagine not only love, peace, suffering, and beauty but the meaning of their very own lives. "The stories in David Allan Cates`s Imagining Tanya, sometimes harrowing, sometimes hilarious, are always moving. Like his novels, they`re the perfect mixture of tough and tender, full of heart, mystery, and wisdom. But the compressed form allows him to focus on the strange, subtle moments that turn a life upside down or right it again, even if his characters don`t always recognize the change when it comes. In these rich pages, a host of American ex-pats wandering in Central America-some innocent, some jaded-all carry with them the potential for an earthly, messy sort of grace, gifted to them by a masterful storyteller." - Scott Nadelson, author of One of Us and The Next Scott Nadelson "David Allan Cates creates a vivid, unforgettable world of souls lost in Central America in the 1980s. The characters` heartbreak and displacement are mirrored by the larger conflicts of war all around them, and they seek redemption in the bravery of loving through pain. Imagining Tanya is a bold, gripping, and seductive collection, full of moments of grace." - Maxim Loskutoff, author of Ruthie Fear and Come West and See
