Book Description
Traumatized by his past as a Bolivian soldier who, in a sudden coup d'etat, was forced to participate in atrocities, Alfredo flees to Montreal, haunted by the dead. He rides the Montreal metro and pours his guilt and shame into his writing, until he falls for a woman without a nation—a Kurdish freedom-fighter trying to blast an independent Kurdistan into existence. As the net of intrigue closes in on his lover, Alfredo is forced to face more fully his own violent past. In a world where the intimate collides with the official and the past is made and remade again in a new country, Alejandro Saravia's novel in turn refuses to be bound by a single genre, style, or even language. Reminiscent of Michael Ondaatje's In the Skin of a Lion in its exploration of the complicated relationship between nation, memory, and identity, Red, Yellow, Green considers what a place can mean to people who are out of place. At once heartbreaking and uplifting, bleak and humorous, Saravia offers a poignant reminder of the power of generosity and love.

Red Yellow Green
Author: Michael Perullo
Publisher: UQ Publishing
ISBN: 0984787771
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
There must be a new way, a simple way, a comprehensible and comprehensive way to have a purposeful discussion with regard to federal priorities and spending. This book is about setting federal spending priorities with a rational basis in the rule of law. We need a reasonable way to develop an agreed upon codified consensus of our increasingly expensive and continuously expansive unsustainable federal spending. With regard to the federal budget (and our national debt), the detailed conversation that we must have as a nation is not taking place. Neither Democrats nor Republicans seem to be capable of showing the requisite leadership on federalist (constitutionally derived) budget priorities. There needs to be a comprehensible unifying idea in order to jump start, focus, and keep the discussion moving forward to eventually bring a constitutional focus back to federal spending. The purpose of this book is to suggest a metaphor which could easily be employed to catalyze the most serious discussion of our time: our ruinous national finances, both in terms of budget outlays and our national debt. A comprehensible unifying idea in order to start, focus, and keep the discussion going to bring a constitutional focus back to federal spending is required. The idea is represented by the common traffic signal: Red means stop, Yellow means caution, and Green means go. The goal is to get Americans thinking about federal spending in terms of Red, Yellow and Green.
