"Mexican Eskimo" is a story for grown-ups: a love story about finding trust and hope amidst generations of anger and neglect, substance abuse and suicide. A faithful documentation of a most unlikely existence, "Mexican Eskimo" is an intricate layer-cake of actual and imagined pieces of dimly remembered facts, generously frosted with sweet, sticky gobs of Anker Frankoni's gospel-truth fantasies. The story is peppered with international flavor, vibrant characters, multi-cultural themes, and lush settings. It is rife with magical realism, and also features a large cast of young protagonists struggling with identity conflicts and independence, described in a range of historical periods from the 1850's, 1930's, the present day, and even in worlds that existed so long before now, that time itself had not yet started to be counted in years. "Mexican Eskimo" is a tale of two lives, separated by the one Anker Frankoni is currently occupying, and is guaranteed to give readers keen observations into the ones they now call their own.
