Abstract
La herencia, the new novel by Colombian-American professor and anthropologist Rafael Reyes-Ruiz, goes down paths his readers already know. As in his preceding trilogy, El cruce de Roppongi (Las Ruinas, Alfar, Sevilla, 2015; La forma de las cosas, Alfar, Seville, 2016; El samurái, La Pereza, Gainesville, Florida, 2018), La herencia once again confronts us with questions of identity, globalization, and historical memory. The story also reunites us with characters from the other books and visits spaces likewise familiar to readers: the streets of Tokyo, bars of Bangkok, and the protagonists’ childhood memories of Bogotá.
