This is the question facing the inhabitants of Corderro, a South American city known simply as ‘The Melting Pot’.
Through centuries of bloodshed and misfortune it has shown itself to be a place where the hopes of those visiting its shores are undone by their own deeds.
In the present day four disparate strangers are thrown together in the latest of the city’s rotations:
A smuggler seeking anonymity instead finds himself infamous and on the run. A dictator striving to dominate awakens revolutionary fervour and civil war. A woman searching the ruins for the man who saved her life places herself in harm’s way, and a politician trying to prevent economic meltdown accidentally becomes the instigator of genocide.
As events spiral out of control they try to make their escape, each acutely aware that in The Melting Pot actions always come back to haunt you.
2. MAIN INSPIRATIONS FOR WRITING ‘THE MELTING POT’:
The choice of setting comes from traveling to South and Central America over the last five years. The main theme of vicious circles is born out of a desire to stop working for large companies and get out of the rat race!
