¿Eres tú?

Frank Tainter’s IS THAT YOU? A HISTORY OF LONQUIMAY intertwines the personal journey of Robert, an American entangled in Chilean culture, with a plush mosaic of Chilean history, folklore, and indigenous insight. Through Robert’s encounters with Rosa, closely linked to shamanic tradition, and his immersion in the turbulent Vietnam War era and Chilean political upheavals of the seventies, Tainter paints a vivid portrait of affection, migration, and the enduring resilience of the human spirit amidst societal and political challenges. Seamlessly blending storytelling with historical lessons and cultural discernments, Tainter’s novel captures a radiography of Chile’s complex heritage and, simultaneously, the universal quest for understanding.
