A Burmese Journey and Other Narratives

A new collection of short stories inspired by real events that a doctor's restless mind spun into fiction during the painful times of the pandemic, an unexpected occasion to write. These tales reflect the author's love of friendship and reading, Italian coffee, tango music and dance, languages, the local cuisine of various countries, and the cultures experienced during numerous travels. In a kaleidoscopic whirlwind, the author walks us through Buddhist temples in Burma during a moment of political tragedy; he introduces us to the artificial intelligence laboratory at a neurological institute in Seattle; he surprises us with the customs and language of the Guarani in the Province of Corrientes in Argentina, his native country. Not only do these bilingual stories fascinate and inform, but they provide an ideal opportunity for those who want to improve their fluency in English or Spanish.
