Mexican Eskimo Book 1: Exmikan

De: Anker Frankoni

Narrado por: Anker Frankoni

Mexican Eskimo is a story for grown-ups: A love story about finding trust and hope amidst generations of anger and neglect, suicide and substance abuse.

A faithful documentation of a most unlikely existence, Mexican Eskimo is an intricate layer-cake of actual and imagined pieces of dimly remembered facts, generously frosted with sweet, sticky gobs of gospel-truth fantasies.

The story is peppered with international flavor, vibrant characters, multi-cultural themes, and lush settings. It is rife with magical realism, and also features a large cast of young protagonists struggling with identity conflicts and independence, described in a range of historical periods from the 1850's, 1930's, the present day, and even in worlds that existed so long before now that time itself had not yet started to be counted in years.

I'm so touched

I love the way the author uses reference to actual street and places here in the greater Bay Area. I am an uber driver, and I met the author in a ride and he gifted me a copy of his book. I have lived in the bay area for 41 years. To see a perspective on my greater home, was at very least to say quite touching. I look forward to the next book

To Anker you did a really good job on this book..

I survived a complicated childhood, that is to say no childhood, while navigating the clandestine mine fields of generational secrets, toxic shame and anger stew. So this book is soothing to me. Thank you for the language . The self deprecating honesty mixed with the fantastical time travel. & shapeshifting. Thank you for the singing the sting of loss the path of grief & the shit. I don’t trust writers who leave out the shit. I have thoroughly enjoyed this short excerpt. Please share more stories more hours of your thoughts your journey. So it’s for your kids to understand your wife to forgive right but for us, the other Shepherds, watching the sheep. We who take care of the edges because our nests did not fit us. We - me we enjoy your transformation we need your voice. We who do right but maybe not nice. The others need it too even if they don’t know it. Being misinterpreted misplaced and out of sync with family please don’t leave it to the DSM-IV... your mistakes and humanity give more hope than diagnosis because it’s real and you are here to speak it. It means there is actually hope when we leave the cave. So looking forward to 2 & 3 in this trilogy. Thank you !
