        The Best of All Possible Worlds

        by Emilio Lezama / English Translation by Tanya Huntington

        He is from Mexico. She is from Ecuador. He is a sales insurance agent who would have loved to be a philosopher. She is a well-known artist. They meet in Washington DC, but soon they have to part ways. He tries desperately to save the relationship and ends up involved in a Latin American presidential campaign, and a centuries-long debate between Newton and Leibniz. He has no idea how he got there. All he wanted was to save his relationship, now the fate of a country depends on him.  This is the story of falling apart. This is the story of being too late. A story of how things that could have happened often affect us more than those that do. This is a story of politics in Latin America, philosophy in Europe and love everywhere. This is a story about being sorry.  A story about being human.
