THE COLOMBIA BOX
Colombia has become one of the world’s fastest-growing tourist destinations with the number of visitors tripling in the last 10 years. No longer characterized by drug wars, mafioso-run streets, and guerilla violence, enterprising locals are cashing in on the country’s sordid history through tours showcasing the very spots many once feared.
The protagonist of The Sound of Things Falling is navigating that same terrain with his own personal connection to that history pulling him back into the Colombia of before — and drawing us, his readers, to connect what was to what is so in a way reminiscent of William Faulkner’s arresting line: “The past is never dead. It's not even past.”
The COLOMBIA box featuring, The Sound of Things Falling, a custom-made ROADMAP, and more will guide you through the longstanding impact of war on a country and the people who are forced to flee it. This is also the first box to be featured in a new series of live events at The Greene Space in New York City.
You can still order the COLOMBIA box! But hurry, supplies are limited!
