SUMMARY:Global Perspectives Book Club: Guatemalan Rhapsody
DESCRIPTION:Book: Guatemalan Rhapsody\nAuthor: Jared Lemus\nGenre: Short Stories\nWinner of the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize\nA vibrant debut story collection—poignant\, unflinching\, and immersive—masterfully moving between sharp wit and profound tenderness\, Guatemalan Rhapsody offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of an ever-changing country\, the people who claim it as home\, and those who no longer do\nRanging from a custodian at an underfunded college to a medicine man living in a temple dedicated to San Simon\, the patron saint of alcohol and cigarettes\, the characters in these stories find themselves at defining moments in their lives\, where sacrifices may be required of them\, by them\, or for them.\nIn “Saint Dismas\,” four orphaned brothers pose as part of a construction crew\, stopping cars along the highway and robbing anyone foolish enough to hit the brakes. In “Heart Sleeves\,” two wannabe tattoo artists take part in a contest\, where one of them hopes to win not only first place but also the heart of his best friend’s girlfriend. And\, in “Fight Sounds\,” a character who fancies himself a Don Juan is swept up in the commotion of an American film crew shooting a movie in his tiny town\, until the economic and sexual politics of the place are turned on their head.\nAcross this collection\, Lemus’s characters test their loyalty to family\, community\, and country\, illuminating the ties that both connect us and constrain us. Guatemalan Rhapsody explores how we journey from the circumstances that we are forged by\, and whether the ability to change our fortunes lies in our own hands or in those of another. Revealing the places where beauty\, desperation\, love\, violence\, and hope exist simultaneously\, Jared Lemus’s debut establishes him as a major new voice in the form.\nLink to purchase book locally through Good Neighbor Bookstore: https://goodneighborbooks.com/search?q=guatemalan%20rhapsody\nLink to RSVP via Microsoft Forms:\nhttps://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/MA925MmrSG\nWe will be meeting on Tuesday\, August 25\, 2026 at 6pm in the Fenn Library at St. Luke’s Church (in the undercroft\, behind the Johnson Stage).
