Book
Based on the authors experience with immigration and living on the road, Echoes and Empty Spaces explores human identity through a series of letters written to unnamed recipientspeople who might be strangers or perhaps echoes of his pastthe boy tries to capture the essence of his fractured existencetaking the reader on a journey through different corners of the world in the search for connection, love and understanding. It is, in its purest form, a story about growing up alienated from the place you should call home, a story about reconnection, loss and identity. Each letter is a piece of a puzzle, reflecting a journey through foreign languages that reshape the narrators voice, cultures that alter his gestures, and the quiet, haunting transformation that comes with dying a little dead, ergo, leaving an old life to create a new one.
