The Man Who Could Move Clouds: A Memoir

byIngrid Rojas Contreras

Raised amid the political violence of 1980s and ’90s Colombia, in a house bustling with her mother’s fortune-telling clients, she was a hard child to surprise. The argument in The Man Who Could Move Clouds develops through biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the memoir to larger questions in biography & autobiography, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. The Man Who Could Move Clouds emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
