The Spectacle of Let: The Soul of a Miracle

By Sam Zamarripa

Romance writer Alicia Cali pa Almeida has come to Mexico to complete a story, an unfinished novel by her late husband, Otto Crist bal Almeida. From a balcony overlooking the ancient city of Veracruz, she stares into the distance, imagining an end to a story she did not begin, determined to unravel truth from fiction. An intimate memoir and tale within a tale, The Spectacle of Let - the Soul of a Miracle, retraces the emotional journey of Alicia through the pain of an untimely death, the angst of carnal betrayal, and the rise of her irrepressible intuition-an inkling that Otto's incomplete book, The Voice of the Looking Mountains, is not what it seems. An impromptu invitation to an extravagant nineteenth-century mansion confirms Alicia's suspicion and introduces an inimitable cast of Otto's fanciful characters, brimming with incredible yarns. Raffa Portuondo, the Man of Laughter. Alejandro, a fetching Mexican specter, and Lemoore David, the septuagenarian healer and confidant of Otto's enigmatic heroine, Niva Miramontes. In her quest to resolve the truth of Otto's manuscript, Alicia turns inward and discovers her conclusion. It is an ending inspired by a palsied Abbot, a gatekeeper who guides her to a furtive moment, through the wonder and unspeakable soul of a miracle, and to the story's astonishing end.
