A short story collection to explore characters of history that history did not have time for. No place neither for heroes or happy ends nor the stories that get all the attention normally. Fates that are dark and sometimes far from an epic adventure, yet worth writing about with every word that was spent.

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M

"But, Alex, tell me, how am I supposed to think about time without, consequently, invoking the machine to go back?" In a letter to the long-lost love of his teenage years, a Peruvian man living in Germany finds himself revisiting the months he and his recipient, a fellow student named Alex, spent together during an exchange in northeastern Germany in 2016. As he reflects on their encounter, he must also confront the brutalities that surrounded their time together. As Javi, the narrator, writes the letter during his journey to the airport to fly back home for Alex's mother's funeral, he uncovers his relationship with the burdens imposed on him by his conservative upbringing, forcing him to face the way he was taught to relate to shame, religious guilt, violence, love, and most importantly, his quest for liberation. Sons of Time and Sin tells the story of the comfort in memory, and the ways in which the past has the capability of imprisoning just as much as it is capable of freeing us.
