Years later, as a university professor in New York City, Santiago is called back to his native Colombia upon the suicide of his sister.

Now, with <i>Twilight at the Equator</i> Manrique shows himself once again to be both an exquisite writer and profound thinker. <i>Twilight</i> tells the story of Santiago Martinez, a young gay novelist who, after he is forced to deal with his sister's suicide, discovers that his family's past secrets are more than alive in the present, and just as dangerous. Manrique seduces us into believing the myth of the safe past, of secure history, of the happy family even as he begins to dismantle these ideas. <i>Twilight at the Equator</i> is a profoundly moving and beautifully written novel.
