I'm confident.
podcast-host
Well well well I imagine this likely is one of your first English language conversations about the book.
podcast-host
You're returning from a massive tour, first in Italian and Europe in May, followed by a tour in Spanish in Mexico and South America.
podcast-host
And I imagine it might be too early for you to speak to the different ways the book is being received or framed or discussed between the Anglophone world and the
podcast-host
the non anglophone world.
podcast-host
I'm curious if the conversations have differed or the questions have differed or the way the book has been framed has differed in Italian versus in Spanish if it has.
podcast-host
Well, sometime in the year after we talked, I reached out to you to ask for your favorite places to go and to eat in Mexico City.
podcast-host
I've been going there for I don't know, forty years perhaps, and I prefer I prefer now to see it through other people's eyes at this point.
podcast-host
And one of the things you suggested at the time was to go to the Italian embassy for an espresso, which we did.
podcast-host
And and this advice and your last name made me presume you came from Italian and ancestry or partly that perhaps like your mother writer protagonist in this novel, whose great-grandmother is Sicilian, you too were Sicilian.
podcast-host
But you've spoken on tour in Spanish to a Spanish-speaking audience about how the Italians presumed this.
podcast-host
Yeah.
podcast-host
Falsely apparently.
podcast-host
So so you aren't you aren't Italian.
podcast-host
Italian,
podcast-host
okay.
that so much.
You did mention similarities in passing about between Sicily and Mexico.
podcast-host
And like these this book and your last book, they're standalone books, but there's also a continuity.
podcast-host
There's a continuity in the sense that it's the mother and daughter from Lost Children Archive, which was taking place in the US-Mexico borderlands, who are now in Sicily.
