Through short stories, 'The Faraway World' encompasses the Latin American diaspora
Podcast: NPR's Book of the DayPublished On: Mon Feb 06 2023
Description: Patricia Engel's new collection of short stories, The Faraway World, reaches into the lives of imaginary characters scattered throughout Latin America. There's a family that's left reeling after a very important member disappears; there's an immigrant woman grappling with societal expectations of what her body and career should look like. In today's episode, Engel talks with NPR's Leila Fadel about some of the overarching themes that tie the ten stories together – and how the title came from a family photograph she found from when her own grandfather took a leap into the unknown.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
