But where Munro would have been subtle, Alvar has an edge. “Esmeralda” meanders easily between scenes from Esmeralda’s childhood, her arrival in America, the romantic relationship, and the events of 9/11. Admirers of Alice Munro’s seamless manipulation of chronology and novel-like stories will appreciate Alvar’s penchant for non-linear storytelling and judicious use of backstory. In “Esmeralda,” a Filipina night-shift custodian and a businessman working together in the World Trade Center begin a brief affair. ![]() However, it’s the transformations her characters undergo when they travel across borders-between work and home, from one neighborhood to another-that Alvar is most interested in exploring. No stranger to transnational migration-Alvar was born in the Philippines and later moved to Bahrain and America-her characters live in many of the places Alvar called home. Alvar’s nine deft, confident stories full of morally complicated characters and rich, unfaltering prose have all the marks of an author who has arrived at a distinctive voice. It is difficult to believe Mia Alvar’s debut collection, In the Country, is in fact a debut. ![]() ![]() ![]() She's head over heels in lust with Jack, but there's her own career to think of as well.
