Book Description
Great things often come in unusual packages A stormy Atlanta morning at the airport. Watching delays and cancelations stack up. The definition of miserable for most travelers. But Lottie finds the good whenever she looks for it. Then an odd discovery sets off a citywide adventure. Will Lottie solve the puzzle before it’s too late? An excerpt from Lottie’s Unexpected Literary Adventure: A Most Unusual Find Lottie smiled and hummed to herself as she picked up the phone. A quick text message to the office—who surely knew better than she did how bad the weather was today—and she moved her suitcase so she could prop her feet up and get comfortable. She knew the lounge membership was so she could settle in and work, like so many people around her were doing right now. But she could hardly create technical documentation for equipment she hadn’t even seen yet. Time for a nice, long read. She reached under the chair where she’d stashed her pocketbook and bumped a cool, sharp edge instead. Frowning, Lottie leaned over until she could grab the whole thing in her hand. “Huh,” she said under her breath. “Now who on earth left something like this here?” A book, an honest-to-goodness printed book, unlike the electronic one she’d been planning to dig into. An old one, too, heavy and thick, a hardcover with a black dust jacket.

A Good Map of All Things
Author: Alberto Álvaro Ríos
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
ISBN: 0816542058
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
In Alberto Álvaro Ríos’s new picaresque novel, momentous adventure and quiet connection brings twenty people to life in a small town in northern Mexico. A Good Map of All Things is home to characters whose lives are interwoven but whose stories are their own, adding warmth and humor to this continually surprising communal narrative. The stories take place in the mid-twentieth century, in the high desert near the border—a stretch of land generally referred to as the Pimería Alta—an ancient passage through the desert that connected the territory of Tucson in the north and Guaymas and Hermosillo in the south. The United States is off in the distance, a little difficult to see, and, in the middle of the century, not the only thing to think about. Mexico City is somewhere to the south, but nobody can say where and nobody has ever seen it. Ríos has created a whimsical yet familiar town, where brightly unique characters love fiercely and nurture those around them. The people in A Good Map of All Things have secrets and fears, successes and happiness, winters and summers. They are people who do not make the news, but who are living their lives for the long haul, without lotteries or easy answers or particular luck. Theirs is the everyday, with its small but meaningful joy. Whether your heart belongs to a small town in Mexico or a bustling metropolis, Alberto Álvaro Ríos has crafted a book that is overflowing with comfort, warmth, and the familiar embrace of a tightly woven community.
