Description: A woman travels to France to seek family roots in a small town, which will allow her to obtain a foreign passport to escape Venezuela; another visits the Museum of Innocence in Istanbul and, upon seeing the objects that recount the lives in a novel by Orhan Pamuk, revisits in her memory the many objects left behind, which populated the journeys of her own life; three Venezuelan siblings, each living in a different country, must reunite in Germany to sow their father's ashes; a "sudaca and weirdo" migrant in Spain attempts to replicate Caracas on Madrid. These stories of migration, by Silda Cordoliani, Raquel Rivas Rojas, Alberto Barrera Tyszka, and Lena Yau, are just a brief sample of the short story collection Escribir Fuera: Cuentos de intemperies y querencias complied and edited by Raquel Rivas Rojas, Katie Brown, and Liliana Lara, which has just been published in 2021, thanks to the enthusiastic work of these three authors and the successful venture of David Alejandro Malavé, head of Kálathos, a Venezuelan publishing house in Spain. (Luz Marina Rivas, translated from the Spanish by Archivo Venezuela).
