Night Prayers
Santiago Gamboa
A philosophy student from Colombia is arrested in Bangkok for drug trafficking and faces a death sentence unless he pleads guilty. However, he is more concerned about reuniting with his long-lost sister and fulfilling his childhood dream of leaving the violent streets of Bogotá. The story follows the siblings' journey from Colombia to Tokyo and through sordid bordellos in Thailand. Fans of Roberto Bolaño and Gabriel García Márquez will enjoy the rhythmic storytelling of acclaimed Colombian writer Santiago Gamboa.
