In
Signor Hoffman
, the nomadic narrator of Eduardo Halfon’s critically-acclaimed
The Polish Boxer
returns to travel from Guatemalan cities, villages, coffee plantations, and border towns to Europe and Israel. At once a world citizen and a writer who mistrusts the power of language, he is pursued by history’s ghosts and unanswerable questions. He is a cartographer of identity on a compelling journey to an uncertain destination. As he draws and redraws his boundaries, he confronts us with the limitations of our own.
