Description
Richard Gwyn's Ambassador of Nowhere takes readers on a poignant journey across Latin America in search of poems for his landmark anthology. He traverses Patagonia's lunar landscapes, walks through Chile's temperate rainforests, and travels to a mysterious town on the Rio Magdalena. This lyrical account pays homage to a deeply conflicted continent and its writers, navigating themes of revolution, guerrilla war, and narco gang violence. Gwyn also explores the complexities of translation, revealing the multiple representations of reality that this act sets in motion.
