In transporting us to these places, it has the power to both touch us deeply and make us feel less alone. This power, when well harnessed, inspires us see better and grasp the world through other\u2019s eyes. In our tribal political moment, we\u2019re losing this ability and worse, we\u2019ve forgotten that lives most different from our own are often where we can learn the most. \\n\\nThe history of humanity is a history of exchange and movement across borders, real and imagined. As someone who lived the better part of decade in Brazil, Belgium, Uganda, and South Africa, often outside of the English language, local historical fiction has played a special role in helping me to better see and understand the language and cultures I\u2019ve found myself in. Aided by photographs and postcards, my writing works to recall emigration stories of earlier generations and by painting them in all their complexity, better understand the world we\u2019ve inherited.\\n\\nI am a debut novelist with a degree in English Literature from the University of Virginia, under the direction of Ann Beattie. In 2016, after ten years in start-ups across South America, Africa and Europe, I left my day-job to commit fully to writing. Fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese, I live with my partner in an art co-op, outside of New York City.\\n&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:513,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;12&quot;:0}\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4366 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/canserrat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/geoffrey-256x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canserrat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/geoffrey-256x300.jpg 256w, https:\/\/canserrat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/geoffrey-342x400.jpg 342w, https:\/\/canserrat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/geoffrey.jpg 633w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>La escritura imaginativa nos lleva a una aventura a trav\u00e9s de la geograf\u00eda, el tiempo, la raza y el credo.
