I picked this up after reading the author's, "Looking For Catarina", and "Story Tellers: In Pursuit of Happiness." This short story, Meet Me In Memphis, proves that he is more than a one-trick pony.This is well written, dialogue-driven, and culturally unique as an internationally appealing read. It mixes a smooth vision of love separated by long distance (Memphis and Santiago de Chile) and love of one's way of life, (the author gives the protagonists (Maximus Dan & Goddess) a choice to make.If these two are going to be together, they will have to decide which country best suits them. In other words, someone must sacrifice a country and a way of life in order to be with the one they love. What would you do?Then comes the twist, unexpected turn of events. The choice, long denied, receives a deferral. If you have never been to Memphis in May, then this book is the next best thing. The author clearly knows this part of the world like the back of his hand...A definite must read.
