Three unconnected people travel north, each passing in isolation over one of the most troubled and controversial dividing lines in the world: the Mexico/US border. But in a melee of language and blood, their stories and the stories of those they meet - of a young serial killer, a waitress and graphic novelist and her lover (and former professor), and an outsider artist in a mental institution - gradually begin to coalesce. Daring in both its protagonists and its structure, Edmundo Paz Soldán's 'Norte' is a fast-paced, vivid, and operatic blending of distinct voices. Together, they lay bare the darkness of the line over which these souls - like so many others - have passed.
