Overview
"This manuscript, titled after the plural form of the Spanish word for wake, would be best read as a mounrful study on the death of childhood. The stories herein seek to inhabit the minds and emotional states of a Panamanian-American couple in the aftermath of the end of their relationship, complicated by the colliding of youthful passion, abandon, and naivety, with the harshness of consequence, guilt, trauma, and regret. It is not a moralistic tale. Rather, it explores the ways we grieve for what we once were. Loss, addiction, longing, and self-destruction are central themes crucial to both characters, expressed in scenes meant to serve as eulogies for memories, feelings, relationships, and hopes that have since passed." -- Abstract
