Listening to Laredo by Mehnaaz Momen Pdf

"Nestled between Texas and Mexico, the city of Laredo was a conventional border town, nurturing cultural ties across the border, attracting occasional tourists, and populated with people living there for generations. This book examines the existing economic and cultural infrastructure of the city, its interdependence with its sister city across the national boundary, and, most importantly, the resilience of the community to adapt to and even challenge the national narrative on the border"--

Ajijic by Patricio Fernández Cortina Pdf

Ajijic, is a lakefront town and the site where many waters converge. In its picturesque streets, the original inhabitants of the town intermingle with the expats, the community of Lakesiders who have chosen to make this town their retirement destination. In much the same way, on a bookcase in any bookstore, like La Renga, the voices of hundreds of authors come together, and here they are read and discussed at the La Colmena cafe, as a soundtrack punctuates the narration: Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, The Pogues, U2, José Alfredo Jiménez, "The Boss" Bruce Springsteen, and a host of songs enliven the reading. In this landscape, painted (and sung) by the author, lives Bob, a character that stands out of from the norm with his brown skin and dog-blue eyes. Bob lives in the anguish of yearning to know his origins, of pursuing the lost part of the double-root of his life. Taciturn by nature, Bob spends his days secluded at home, going out only to stock up on books and readings that multiply his melancholy. This is how he spends his days, his years, until a conversation with Sugar and Niagara (two cheerful Lakesiders) makes him decide to face his destiny and leave for New York.
