Cominante A Narrow Road into the Far South

Like the traveler of its title, Caminante goes out into the world, stimulating our curiosity and empathy Written during Simon's nine-month sojourn through Latin America in the mid-nineties, each of its 131 octaves is a little jewel in its own right, a moment and idea that resonates with distinctive tones. Each octave is accompanied by a prose comentario, deepening the context so that the whole constitutes a saga, travel journal, geography lesson, and finally, a panorama of Latin America. Though Simon writes primarily in English, his language embraces the unusual nuances and rhythms of a bilingual mind.Simon, John Oliver is the author of 'Cominante A Narrow Road into the Far South' with ISBN 9780887393990 and ISBN 0887393993.
