Requests:  0 Summary:  "An American writer of Argentine, Syrian, and Iraqi Jewish descent, Jordan Salama tells the story of the Río Magdalena, nearly one thousand miles long, the heart of Colombia. This is Gabriel García Márquez's territory--rumor has it Macondo was partly inspired by the port town of Mompox--as much as that of the Middle Eastern immigrants who run fabric stores by its banks. Following the river from its source high in the Andes to its mouth on the Caribbean coast, journeying by boat, bus, and improvised motobalinera, Salama writes against stereotype and toward the rich lives of those he meets. Among them are a canoe builder, biologists who study invasive hippopotamuses, a Queens transplant managing a failing hotel, a jeweler practicing the art of silver filigree, and a traveling librarian whose donkeys, Alfa and Beto, haul books to rural children. Joy, mourning, and humor come together in this astonishing debut, about a country too often seen as only a site of war, and a tale of lively adventure following a legendary river." --dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 918.61 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 918.61 Salama Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 918.61 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 918.61 Sa Checked out 05/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 918.61 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 918.61 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
