Vanishing Acts: A Tragedy
A mirror/flip book where one side (the red cover) has all the dialogue in its original Spanish; the other side (the blue cover) is entirely in English.
Vanishing Acts traces the arc of descent of a young gringo anthropologist, Richard Melville, as he navigates shifting currents of intrigue and seduction churning around him in Medellín, Colombia, a tropical city of frightening beauty and violence. Ignoring the advice of Bastón, his paranoid informant and would-be guardian angel, Richard pursues Maria Isabel, a beautiful yet elusive student activist, into whirlpools of danger and desire.
