THE FARAWAY WORLD

Patricia Engel

In The Faraway World , a collection of nine powerful and emotionally gripping short stories set across the Americas and thematically linked by migration, sacrifice, and moral compromise, Patricia Engel showcases characters from across the vast spectrum of Latin American immigration, and confronts, like no other author, the myriad challenges of exile and diaspora. Works from this collection have been honored and anthologized in the Best American Short Stories 2017, the Best American Mystery Stories 2014, and the O. Henry Prize Stories 2019, and published in A Public Space, Harvard Review, Kenyon Review, The Sun, and elsewhere.
