Chronicles of a trip through Europe. With real people as the protagonist. Distance love stories and virtual. Drunkenness among friends. Drug trafficking. That is what tells America Pacheco Ramos, author of the book passed into trance under the seal of the editorial stingray, a series of 13 stories from a journey through Europe.
In an interview with political Animal, America said that this is a book of Chronicles. “It is a love story, is a fairy tale framed by the completely real chance, all the characters included are not fictional characters, is real people”.
Each of the stories is the result of a journey that has performed at every moment, “each chapter represents or stars in a city, a country and a character. A person I met in this exercise of random and that is what my book”he said.
America writes with total opening everything that lived during his stay in Europe, especially in France, where he traveled in search of Christophe. “If it not had left me planted, but I would have broken my heart, but I had the intention of meeting him, I would not have been writer. Because those characters I wrote were dedicated to it”, explains.
Today I had the privilege of being with @amerikapa in the presentation of passed in trance, which also had the honour to extend. Thank you, America! And thanks to @HosteriaLaBota for the hospitality and @manchadetinto and @distorsiongay table mates. Here some of the roll that I missed. pic.twitter.com/vziumxOZNN – Gerardo Cardenas (@ElGerryChicago) August 10, 2018 Christophe is the first chapter of this story, where America speaks of each of the scenarios for which two lovers met after a relationship to distance.
“In the next chapter, it’s Barcelona, was a binge with a group of friends; another chapter is devoted to an experience I had with a family that has made the adoption of children a lifestyle in Brussels”, he says.
According to America, this chapter has been translated in different languages and was published in Belgium. Rather than start with a love story, passed in a trance “you have issues such as the adoption or drug trafficking, which is the case of a friend who just got out of jail. I think that the book can like or dislike people that are accustomed to read this type of literary disciplines.”
