Tender and compassionate, bursting with ribald humour, American Abductions is a literary tour-de-force from a celebrated young write Ada was just a little girl when she witnessed her father being abducted by immigration officials and forced to return to Colombia. She and her sister are left alone to grow up in an America that is as all-seeing as it is hostile: a country of data harvesting and mass surveillance, a nation in which outsiders are imprisoned and deported on a vast scale, regardless of whether or not they posses US citizenship. Many years later, Ada still lives in San Francisco, determined to forge a life for herself in a country that is outwardly hostile to her community, her family, her identity. When her sister asks her to come to Colombia to visit their now ailing father, Ada must decide just how much she is willing to leave behind for the family she hasn't seen in years. Dextrous and daring, sharply intelligent and bursting with wit, Mauro Javier C???rdenas' latest novel cements his place at the vanguard of Latin American literary talent.
