I wrote this short story while visiting a small town in Mexico in the 1990s, after spending a couple of hours in the town square crossed by people from different walks of life, when it occurred to me that everyone was preoccupied with the same thing.
OMG, Margo, this could have been written by Chekhov – the characters, their stories, their interactions – but with a good dollop of vibrant Mexican colours. Love it!
Money is exactly what you want from a story! I felt like I was there sitting next to the characters with all of their individual stories and challenges. Your beautiful writing always manages to cut through psychological, cultural and economic barriers and reveal our own humanity through storytelling.
