The Triumphant Voyage
By Jay Miskowiec (B.A. '81)
Aliform Publishing, 2009

The Triumphant Voyage relates the wanderings of the fictional poet Arnaldo Farilla Utrillo during the first half of the twentieth century.  From the San Francisco earthquake to Paris between the wars, from his mother's youth in the Mexican port of Veracruz to Faria's death in Colombia at the start of "la violencia," this picaresque novel chronicals the decadence and hedonism of a "professional foreigner."
