Description
A picaresque, smart, and smartass memoir of Harvard lawyer Eddie Loperena's Newyorican life in "the country I was offered."
Brought to New York from Puerto Rico when he was seven, Eddie Loperena grew up dreaming of returning to his island paradise.
As he approaches forty, the loss of his wife and his business partner have landed Eddie at a crossroads, so he closes his legal practice when he gets a call from his estranged boyhood friend Carlos, now a well-known drug dealer. Carlos extracts a favor from Eddie to hold two suitcases full of "valuable papers."
Surviving a vindictive D.A.'s threat to prosecute, citywide rumors that he has disappeared with his friend's illicit money, and a media circus intent to cast the complex situation into a two-dimensional context, Eddie decides to write the third dimension of a tragicomic satire of the seventies, of the island of his birth that cast him adrift, and of his minority membership in "the country I was offered."
