Strange Pilgrims
Combining terror and nostalgia, surreal comedy and the poetry of the commonplace, this book is a triumph of storytelling by our writer.
Their distant, nostalgic memories of home, their sense of anonymity in a foreign land, the terrifying pang of vulnerability they feel as they step over the threshold into an alien world . . .

Description
Marquez Day - A celebration of one of the world's most loved writers, available in ebook for the first time.
Their nostalgic memories of home, their sense of anonymity in a foreign land, the terrifying pang of vulnerability they feel as they step over the threshold into an alien world...
These pilgrims - the ageing prostitute preparing for death, the panicked husband scared for the life of his injured wife, the old man who allows his mind to wander on a long-haul flight from Paris - experience what it is to be an outsider living far from home.
Strange Pilgrims is re-issued on Gabriel Garcia Marquez's birthday to celebrate the publication of his books as ebooks for the first time.
