Below is a press extract from his previous release:

Venezuelan author A. A. Alvarez puts the "I" in immigration with a fun novel that demonstrates that money is not the only reason young people emigrate abroad.

With a passionate and entertaining writing style, the debutant author provides an insider’s perspective about the way plenty of today’s young immigrants live their lives and why well-established Latin Americans also pursue their dreams in North America and Europe. Alvarez's book, Chronicles of a Nomad: Memoirs of an Immigrant, is a first-person adventure told from the perspective of an intrepid immigrant named Carlos Rodriguez.

"The expansion of technology and the globalization of the English language have contributed immensely in making immigration a part of our daily lives, be it because our neighbors came from abroad or because we are foreigners ourselves. By exchanging experiences with immigrants from all walks of life, I have learned precious lessons about growing beyond our nationalities, beyond our languages, and beyond our deepest prejudices. In Carlos Rodriguez’s story, I have merged all of our lives into one, and even though his journey is one of adaptation, his message is about those moments of clarity when we make the decisions that shape who we become. With my work, I hope to shed some light on the shadow cast by the nations that divide us, because with or without borders, we are all citizens of the world."
