“Navas manages to captivate us with stories with common points, but different and dynamic enough. An implicit emotional weight that improves and amplifies the charge of the stories, resulting in an enjoyable, agile, nutritious reading with a certain tendency to reflect, especially with the always complicated immigration topic. A complete, promising and graphic debut that manages to teleport us physically and emotionally to where the author wants, which is no small thing.” Publishers Weekly

First Book: MorivivÍ
Introduction to the Book
Moriviví is a collection of short stories that trace universal themes such as love, emptiness, loss, true friendship, while oscillating between third person omniscient and first-person account, inviting readers to reflect and find commonalities with their own lives. From the adventures of an aspiring writer to the fortuitous meeting between a war veteran and a depressed woman or the disappearance of a childhood friend, readers will submerge in the intimate moments of the human experience.
Inspiration
The Colombian author handles a profile of female and immigrant protagonists. Her personal story, as she emigrated to the United States twenty years ago, has inspired her plots. The people you know and who have been part of your life have a place in her paragraphs. Mature, mysterious, lonely, passionate women occupy the events that are narrated. Most stories take place in Miami, within intimate and closed spaces, that frame narratives that reflect closeness and reality.
