*The Man Who Could Move Clouds: A Memoir || by Ingrid Rojas Contreras* {SHORTLIST}
Three genre-bending memoirs on the Longlist weave together the personal, political, and everything in between. After an accident leaves her with amnesia, Ingrid Rojas Contreras travels to her native Colombia with her mother to disinter the remains of her late grandfather—a curandero, or community healer with magical powers. The Man Who Could Move Clouds: A Memoir untangles the legacies of colonialism, trauma, and mysticism in Colombia’s history, her ancestral lineage, and within Rojas Contreras herself.
