Aliens & Other Stories

Mehr zum Buch

Exiles from their homelands, the characters navigate life as foreigners in various cities, including Madrid, Buenos Aires, and suburban Washington, D.C. Political refugees from Argentina's "dirty war," Cuban shipwreck survivors, and those escaping Franco's Spain grapple with their pasts while confronting the absurdities of contemporary existence. With wry humor and deep compassion, Wheaton explores themes of dislocation, loss, and longing, highlighting the resilience of those striving to find their place in a world that often feels alien.
