“While the stories in An American Affair are united by various connections between Americans and Latin Americans, there is much more going on here beside culture clashes. These stories explore the complexities beneath our everyday lives, no matter where we live or have lived, no matter who we love or have loved. Mark Brazaitis inhabits a wide range of characters who want something more, who have to cope with dashed expectations, with time and memory’s betrayals. ‘It is hard to lie in a foreign language,’ Brazaitis writes. These rich, evocative stories deal with the nuances of truch and the inadequacy of language to express or even find truth, even when lying is made more difficult.”
—Jim Daniels, author of Detroit Tales
