Beschreibung

"From Puerto Rico to mythological forests, 'The Palace' charts a family's journey to build a life and home in a world of violence and economic collapse, by confronting ghosts and gods, memory and time; The Palace is a testament to splendor and transformation. From Puerto Rico to mythological forests, 'The Palace' charts a family's journey to build a life and home in a world of violence and economic collapse. Amidst real and imagined landscapes the narrator confronts the specters of his ancestors and ancient gods as the family traverses torn villas and labyrinths. Despite a turbulent history scarred by violence, disenfranchisement, and addiction, a path emerges toward redemption through a deep engagement with love and the natural world. The Palace is a testament of love and transformation, a journey toward splendor in a despairing world"-- Provided by publisher.
