She sees him again and again throughout her life and she writes stories for him about things that are both impossible and true. Lima lures readers into surreal pockets of the United States and Brazil where they ll find bite - size Americans in vending machines and the ghosts of people who are not dead. Once there she speaks to modern Brazilian - American immigrant experiences of ambition fear longing and belonging and reveals the porousness of storytelling and of the places we call home.
